Instructions on How to Score your Festival Assessment FormThe individual scoring for each festival requires compiling the narrative information collected and creating a numerical score. The numerical score is created by assigning a numerical value to specific questions using the information below for the 12 strategies.Overall, numerical codes from 1- 3 are assigned to answers as indicated below. Add up all answers to create the total the numerical score (X) and a final score, X ÷36 = [] x 100= Final Score. Scores can range from 36 to 100, with the higher scores indicating more evidence based serving practices to prevent alcohol misuse have been observed.Reviewers need to carefully compare the surveys for each festival. Individual impressions will differ and uneven or sporadic enforcement can result in conflicting information. For example: If two observers indicate different answers, it is possible that at different locations or different times at the same location, behaviors were different. For example, if one person observed a server drinking, and the other volunteers did not, then it occurred. For the rating of intoxication (Q14 to code for Q8), take the average of the volunteer reviewers responses.These codes are not written in stone. You may alter your coding scheme to fit your community. The most important thing is document how you coded something so you can be consistent from year to year.Coding scheme:QuestionCodeResponse1.
