TRAINING IN INTERVENTION PROCEDURES: A PREVENTION PROGRAM

This article describes a program developed by the Health Education Foundation called TIPS, "Training in Intervention Procedures for Servers of Alcohol." The objective of the TIPS program is to educate servers of alcohol in the skills needed to reduce the incidence of drunkenness and thereby reduce the incidence of alcohol-related accidents or injury by patrons who consume alcohol in a licensee's establishment. Trainers and trainees are subjected to rigorous testing to ensure (1) that the training program meets high quality standards and (2) that the trainees attain the training objectives as measured by affidavit of the certified trainer and by a machine-scored examination.
