Abstract:

Many drinking establishments have instituted designated driver programs (DDPs) which encourage one person in a group of patrons to remain sober and drive the others home. The primary objectives of this exploratory study were to: 1) identify DDPs throughout the United States, 2) contact and describe a sample of these DDPs, and 3) investigate informal designated driver activities (individuals using a designated driver on their own) at membership organizations, such as veterans, fraternal and university Greek organizations. The names of 431 public drinking establishments alleged to have formal DDPs were identified. Forty of these and five membership organizations were called and asked to discuss their DDPs. Four other membership organizations were also called about informal designated driver activity. The opinions of the sources we contacted are reported and the operation and features of DDPs are described. One major result was that although DDPs appear to be an inexpensive way of promoting the designated driver concept, few patrons participated in those we studied. Furthermore, little informal activity took place in membership stablishments. Fortunately, there appear to be some simple and inexpensive actions which establishments can take to increase the number of designated drivers. /Abstract from report summary page/
