| Abstract | An Impairment Estimation Procedure (IEP) was developed from a set of alcohol impairment cues found to be associated with measured blood alcohol concentrations. Some 24 cues representing social behavior, physical appearance, and motor coordination, obtained by observing 149 drinkers in social situations, were divided into two categories: those corresponding to moderate impairment (BAC.04-.08) and those corresponding to severe impairment (BAC >.08). Observers using the IEP estimated impairment more accurately than those not using it when impairment was manifest in both breath tests and field sobriety measures. The superiority of the IEP-guided observers was greatest in identifying moderately impaired drinkers, particularly those considered not impaired by unguided observers. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
