Alcohol highway safety : problem update

This document examines new literature and data on selected alcohol-crash targets or problems that have become available since the November 1989 State of Knowledge review. Specifically, this update addresses research since the 1989 review dealing with characteristics of drinking-drivers and drinking-driving that are associated with increased levels of alcohol-crash risk and/or alcohol-crash incidence. With the exception of NHTSA's Traffic Safety Facts 1996, the cutoff date for literature included in this study was February, 1994. This document contains a description of the methods followed in determining the topics and issues of concern; identifying, acquiring and screening the articles to be reviewed; and a synthesis of the individual reviews.
