| Description |
Community Trials Intervention to Reduce High-Risk Drinking (RHRD) is a multicomponent, community-based program developed to alter alcohol-use patterns of people of all ages. RHRD uses five prevention components: (1) alcohol access; (2) responsible beverage service; (3) risk of drinking and driving; (4) underage alcohol access; and, (5) community mobilization. RHRD addresses underage drinking, acute (binge) drinking, and drinking and driving. The program aims to help communities reduce various types of alcohol-related accidents, violence, and resulting injuries. |
| Goal / Mission |
The goal of this program is to reduce high-risk drinking behaviors. |
| Results / Accomplishments |
The evaluation used a longitudinal, multiple-time series design across three intervention communities. The evaluation data shows decreases in substance use and behaviors related to risk factors. Individuals living in intervention sites had significant reductions in drinking quantities (p = .008), variances in drinking quantities (p < .001), rates of driving when having had too much to drink (p = .009), and rates of driving over the legal limit (p = .002) relative to individuals living in comparison sites (communities that were similar to intervention sites in sociodemographics but were not exposed to the intervention). |
