Abstract: Previous studies validating the transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC) as measured by the Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitors Continuous Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM‐CAM) have tested the monitor against self‐reports or breath alcohol concentration (BrAC). This study aims to provide further evidence of the reliability of the SCRAM‐CAM testing two monitors in parallel. Participants ( N = 21) received four standard drinks in a laboratory session while wearing SCRAM‐CAMs simultaneously on their left and right ankles. The SCRAM‐CAMs s led TAC every 30 min and participants were monitored for at least 2–3 h after their BrAC levels reached zero. Weight and height measures were taken to calculate body mass index (BMI). There was a positive correlation between the TAC measurements from the left and right SCRAM‐CAM ( r = 0.718), a cross‐correlation model revealed that this correlation was not significantly different for sex or BMI. Area under the TAC curve (AUC) and peak TAC values as measured by the left and right SCRAM‐CAM also show positive correlations ( r = 0.554 and r = 0.579, respectively). Cross‐correlation models show a significant effect of BMI on the relationship between left and right peak TAC values, which may be due to outlier effects. No further effects were significant for on both peak and AUC values. Results show that TAC measured by SCRAM‐CAMs worn on the left and right showed a good correlation, with correlations between AUC and peak TAC values considered to be fair. TAC monitors show promise for use in research settings however, work is needed testing the reliability of TAC as measured by two TAC monitors.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to: (i) determine the feasibility of using ecological momentary assessment to collect data from Australian Football League (AFL) fans (ii) explore pre‐game, during‐game and post‐game consumption patterns of AFL fans and (iii) explore the social and setting‐related factors associated with risky single occasion drinking (5+ drinks) among AFL fans. Thirty‐four participants completed up to 10 ecological momentary assessment surveys before, during and after 63 AFL games ( n = 437 completed surveys). Surveys collected data about their drinking, and their social and environmental milieu (e.g., location, company). Binary logistic regression analyses clustered by participant identified which game‐day characteristics were associated with higher odds of risky single occasion drinking. Significant differences between pre‐game, during‐game and post‐game drinking on social and environmental factors were explored using pairwise comparisons. Risky single occasion drinking was more likely when games began in the early‐afternoon (1–3 pm) than late‐afternoon (3–6 pm), when participants watched the game at a stadium or pub compared to home, and when participants watched the game with friends compared to family. Pre‐drinking was more likely before night games and post‐drinking was more likely after day games. Drinking during the game was heavier when watching the game at a pub and when watching with a combined group of friends and family. Preliminary findings suggest that social and contextual factors matter in the way alcohol is consumed while watching AFL games. These findings require further investigation in larger s les.
