This paper reports the qualitative results from an evaluation of a designated driver program known as Skipper, in a provincial city in Queensland. Focus groups were conducted with 108 individuals from the intervention area. These focus groups aimed to assess the barriers and facilitators to the programs effectiveness by obtaining information about the patrons views on various aspects of the program, as well as designated driver and travelling after drinking more generally. A brief questionnaire was also given to participants in order to present responses in terms of the participants characteristics. Results suggest general support for the designated driver concept and the Skipper program specifically.(a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E218699.
