Norms and Attitudes Related to Alcohol Usage and Driving. A Review of the Relevant Literature. 'Suggestions for Developing Prevention Programs to Reduce the Incidence of Alcohol-Impaired Driving'

摘要

This booklet was developed to assist highway safety program officials in assimilating recent research findings on primary prevention into their DWI community-based prevention programming. The DWI prevention activities and program suggestions contained in this booklet are based on the findings of a review of DWI literature and attitude behavior research; a quantitative analysis of primary prevention public health programs; and primary data collected through interviews and focus groups on knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors related to drinking and driving. Presented herein is background information on the drunk driving problem; approaches for establishing an integrated community-based prevention program; and resources that can support DWI prevention efforts. The suggestions contained in this booklet have not been tested specifically for preventing drinking and driving; however, they are based on statistically factored, features of successful public health primary prevention programs.
