ALCOHOL SAFETY ACTION PROJECTS--EVALUATION OF OPERATIONS. VOLUME III-PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS

IN ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY AND PRACTICABILITY OF A SYSTEMS APPROACH FOR DEALING WITH THE DRINKING - DRIVING PROBLEM, AND TO EVALUATE COUNTERMEASURES WITHIN THE LIMITS PERMITTED BY THE SIMULTANEOUS APPLICATION OF A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT COUNTERMEASURES AT THE SAME SITE, THIRTY-FIVE PROJECTS WERE INITIATED IN AS MANY STATES. THESE PROJECTS ARE INTENDED TO CATALYZE EACH STATE INTO ACTION TO IMPROVE ITS ALCOHOL SAFETY PROGRAM. THE PROJECTS, WHICH WERE IMPLEMENTED IN FIVE PHASES, ARE BASED ON A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF THE DRINKING-DRIVING PROBLEM AND RECOGNIZE THE RELATIVELY LARGE ROLE PLAYED BY THE PROBLEM DRINKER IN HIGHWAY FATALITIES. THIS PUBLICATION DESCRIBES THE INTEGRATED SET OF COUNTERMEASURES: ENFORCEMENT, JUDICIAL, REHABILITATION, PUBLIC INFORMATION AND EDUCATION, IN ADDITION TO THE FUNDING, PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND EVALUATION.
