Project Description

Having developed a method for determining the Risk Status of individual premises a comprehensive sample of 114 hotels and taverns in the inner Perth metropolitan area is being surveyed to discover whether any serving or promotional practices are reliably associated with degree of Risk. Variables of interest include the extent of discount schemes such as happy hours, other pricing policies, serve sizes, availability and promotion of low alcohol drinks, availability of food and schemes for preventing drink-driving. The data are being collected by a team of 4 interviewers who are visiting each premises and interviewing the manager or licensee and a member of the bar staff.
