      <title>Impact of Georgia's Teenage and Adult Driver Responsibility Act</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/811408</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This brief commentary summarizes a study that reviewed the impact of Georgia's Teenage and Adult Drivers Responsibility Act on fatal crash rates of various age groups of drivers 5 years before and after the law was enacted.  The study showed that, overall, the fatal crash rate of 16-year-old drivers was 37% lower in the postenactment study period, alcohol-related crashes decreased more than 60%, and speed-related crashes decreased by 50%.  However, the law had little sustainable effect on the fatal crash statistics as the teenagers aged.  The commentary author considers these results from the point of view of a trauma nurse.  The research is particularly important for trauma nurses who provide community prevention education.  The data suggest that older adolescents and college-age young adults should be the focus of ongoing efforts for programs such as Emergency Nurses Care, Students Against Drunk Driving, and trauma nurse lectures.  The commentary author stresses the importance of developing new educational strategies and continuing this safety message on the college campus.]]></description>

      <title>EVALUATION OF YOUTH PEER-TO-PEER IMPAIRED DRIVING PROGRAMS. FINAL REPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/465349</link>
      <description><![CDATA[More than 16,000 high schools in the United States have youth peer-to-peer groups that encourage students to refrain from drinking, drinking and driving, and riding in a vehicle with a drinking driver.  While each of these groups is unique, most refer to themselves as SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) chapters.  Selected highly active chapters were studied in Arizona, Ohio, and Wisconsin.  Focus group results indicated that chapter members, primarily female, are leaders in many school and community activities.  School-wide surveys conducted in six active peer-to-peer program schools and six comparison schools without active peer-to-peer programs (N = 17,484) indicated that students attending an active-program school were exposed to substantially more in-school activities directed against drinking and drinking and driving.  They were also more likely to hold attitudes reflecting positive reasons as to why not to use alcohol.  Student self-reported behavior and data covering police-reported crashes were inconclusive.  It was felt that student activities such as SADD can be an important component of a total community strategy to deal with underage drinking.]]></description>

      <title>CONTRACT FOR LIFE: A FOUNDATION FOR TRUST &amp; CARING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/460544</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This is a contract to be signed by a young adult and his or her parent or guardian.  Both agree to recognize that SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) encourages all young people to adopt a substance-free life style and to view this contract as a means of opening the lines of communication about drinking, drug use and traffic safety to ensure the safety of all parties concerned.  Both agree to certain conditions concerning drinking and driving.  The purpose is to prevent driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, to prevent riding in a car operated by a driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and to encourage the use of safety belts.]]></description>

      <title>MAJOR SOCIAL ACTION GROUPS AGAINST DRUNKEN DRIVERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/366382</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article briefly reviews the history of the social action groups against drunken drivers in the United States, then takes a closer look at the following groups:  Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD); Remove Intoxicated Drivers (RID); and Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD).  Also discussed are social action groups in Canada and their long-standing relationships with the Traffic Injury Research Foundation of Canada.]]></description>

      <title>ARE WE WINNING THE WAR ON DRUNKEN DRIVING?</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/309217</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article reviews briefly what has happened in the past five years since the drunk-driving issue caught fire.  There has been a flurry of legislating and nearly every state has recently increased penalties for drunken driving.  Tougher laws, however, are not felt to be the answer because an overworked judicial system must encourage plea-bargaining, they do not deter the type of person likely to cause drunk-driving fatalities, and, despite stepped-up enforcement, a drunken driver's chances of being caught are slim.  Much credit for the new awareness of the drunk-driving issue must be given to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and similar organizations such as Students Against Drunk Drivers (SADD).  The alcohol industry is also now pushing to get drunken drivers off the road.  The health craze is contributing also:  Americans are drinking less and peer pressure is being taken off young adults to drink.  But again, publicity and education alone are not enough to stop alcohol abusers from driving.  The Health Education Foundation developed a program called TIPS, for Training for Intervention Procedures by Servers of Alcohol.  Aside from recognizing when patrons are drinking too much, servers are taught to discourage further drinking without embarrassing the customer.  But the anti-DWI movement's greatest effect may be encouraging people to practice prevention on a personal level, to practice the motto "Friends don't let friends drive drunk."]]></description>

      <title>ONE SIZE FITS ALL...OR DOES IT?</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218005</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The purpose of this article is to make readers aware of the variety of approaches to prevention of alcohol abuse among young people under 21, especially high school teenagers.  Stating that "one size does not fit all," it discusses the "Safe Rides" program, which saves lives but at the same time seems to condone drinking by those under the legal drinking age, the Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD) program, which receives a large share of their support from the liquor industry, and the "Safe Homes" program, which provides alcohol-free parties for teenagers.  Legitimate questions are asked regarding the effectiveness of these programs and readers are encouraged to respond.]]></description>

      <title>FIGHTING BACK: ORGANIZATIONS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/210310</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Citizens' organisations, run by both adults and teenagers, are leading the United States into the biggest crackdown on drunk driving that has ever been waged.  They are lobbying for stricter laws, pushing for tougher enforcement and stirring up public concern over the drunk driving problem.  This article focuses on some of these organizations and their programs: Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), Remove Intoxicated Drivers (RID), Stop Killing by Intoxicated Drivers (SKID), and Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD).]]></description>

      <title>BOOZE, DRIVING AND REALITY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/203304</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The author emphasizes the individual's responsibility to be informed about alcohol use, misuse, and alcoholism, and in the individual's major role in the prevention of alcohol misuse.  Children must be told of the scientific and medical dangers of alcohol misuse.  Peer counseling must be developed.  Organizations such as MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers), SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) and the Orange County Trauma Society should be supported.  The local chapters of the National Council on Alcoholism also need community support.  This article also discusses BAL (blood alcohol levels) and the body's tolerance of the effects of alcohol consumption. Breathalyzers in bars and other public places are discussed.  It is noted that most DUI (driving under the influence) offenders are alcoholics--a fact that requires consideration and treatment.]]></description>
