| Abstract | This report presents the findings of a workshop concerning the alcohol and highway safety experience, which includes research efforts to define the drinking-driving problem and societal responses to reduce the increased highway safety risk attributable to alcohol. A cross-disciplinary panel of experts examined its history, methodologies employed in research, and approaches to the development and implementation of preventive measures (countermeasures). From these discussions a conceptual framework for use in comparing alcohol and other drugs was developed. Categories include (1) the process of risk identification; (2) measures of risk to indicate impaired driving ability; and (3) approaches to preventive measures that reduce the increased highway safety risk attributable to alcohol and other drugs. The report summarizes comparisons between alcohol and other drugs. This report summarizes comparisons between alcohol and other drugs, based on the substance, its delivery system, and the user population. Conclusions and recommendations concerning the applicability of the alcohol and highway safety experience to efforts related to other drugs are presented. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
