The impact of designated driver initiative on sporting club member drinking intentions: a randomised hypothetical scenario study

Conditions

None listed

Brief summary

The trial aims to assess if designated driver programs may increase alcohol consumption intentions of community football club members. Participants will be randomised to receive a hypothetical scenario describing a post match celabration, or an identical scenario which also indicates that participants would have access to a designated driver to transport the participant home following the celebration. Participants will then be asked to indicate the quantity of alcohol they would intend to consume given this scenario.
