An Incentive/Reward Intervention to Decrease Alcohol Abuse at Fraternity Parties: Differential Reinforcement of Blood Alcohol Concentration
… the efficacy of an intervention to decrease alcohol abuse by college students. The harm reduction approach states that the ultimate goal when dealing with an unsafe behavior should be abstinence, but any change in behavior in the direction of less harm is supported. This approach was used as …

The effect of blood alcohol concentration on performance in a game of risk involving industrial tasks and accidents
The reported study measured the effects of alcohol on risk-taking 511 a penalty/incentive system. Subjects read scenarios involving industrial tasks and accidents from a video screen. Each scenario had a point value associated with it. Subjects had to decide whether they were willing to perform the …

Effects of alcohol and error criticality on alphanumeric target acquisition
… a touch-input equipped CRT under four levels of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), 0.0, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09 percent. Participants visually searched randomly generated 108-character arrays for imbedded target characters, touching the CRT surface at target locations when located. Half of the …

Alcohol, task difficulty, and incentives in drill press operation
The effects of alcohol, task difficulty, and incentives on a drill press simulation were examined. On four nonconsecutive days the subject received four alcohol levels, one level per day. The levels were: 0.00%, 0.03%, 0.06%, and 0.09% blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The drill press simulation …

Aminoxyl Catalyzed Electrochemical Ethanol Detection: Development of a New Breathalyzer Using Molecular Catalysis
Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is the indicator of alcohol intoxication, and its measurement has emerged as the most common analytical procedure requested by law enforcement. Due to its volatility, ethanol vapor can be detected in breath, and its vapor concentration is proportional to BAC. While …
