Abstract
Server intervention trainings for bar personnel have a lot of potential in preventing drunkenness and impaired driving. Servers of alcohol are a logical starting place for mounting a programme or training to change drinking behaviour. The first server intervention programmes were originally developed in the United States of America in the eighties. Evaluation studies are indicating that server intervention results in more interventions by trained bar personnel, customers with a lower blood alcohol level and less alcohol-related traffic accidents. But for a real effective approach an integral approach is needed, in which server intervention is just part of it. (A)
