Implementation of WayToServe Español
Usual and Customary RBS Training
The experimental design to be employed in the trial evaluation of WayToServe Español (WTS-E) in this direct-to-Phase II project is a two-arm randomized field trial design (WTS-E vs. Usual and Customary [UC] training) with three assessment points (pretest - immediate post-test - 9 month follow-up).This constitutes a 2 (level of RBS training intervention) x 3 (level of time assessment) mixed factorial design. Spanish dominant onsite and off-site licensed alcohol premises will be the unit of analysis, stratified by type of premise (onsite vs. off-site sales) and state (New Mexico vs. Texas).
The Investigators have carefully considered the over-time assessment factor in this design, and have chosen two follow-up assessments over a 9 month-period because a) our prior WayToServe® trials have shown that an immediate post-training assessment will document intervention effects when training effects are at optimum levels immediately after the training; b) the sustained effect of WTS-E needs to be demonstrated to show long-term not just short-term impact (9 months being between our previous 6-month and 1-year follow-ups). Finally, c) all follow-ups can be completed within the approximately 2-year period of a Phase II project. The immediate post-training assessment will occur for both arms of the design, one month after premises in the intervention arm are given access to WTS-E.
