Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the effect of alcohol availability (AA) restriction at a sports stadium in compliance with the Youth Protection Act, which prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages to underage.
Methods: Data were drawn from six years’ annual reports on alcohol use including monitoring on psudo-underage purchases from vendors at the Jamsil Baseball Stadium. A total of 672 attempts by trained volunteers to purchase alcoholic beverages at the stadium were included for analyses. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with identity checks and illegal sales made by the vendors, and to explore the relationship between the AA restriction level and vendors’ selling practices.
Results: The data showed that 39.1% of the attempts to purchase an alcoholic beverage illegally were a success, while 62.2% of them were checked by a cashier at the point of sale. The analyses suggested that, with covariates held constant, restrictive AA was 1.7 times more likely to lead to compliance in not selling alcohol to adolescents, as compared to permissive AA.
Conclusion: Public places like sports stadiums should make enforce AA restrictions in order to improve compliance to the Youth Protection Act and prevent illegal procurement of alcohol by underage citizens.
