DRUID: overview of the project results
The 6th RFP project DRUID aimed at supporting European transport policy makers by suggesting scientifically based recommendations to combat impaired driving. The main DRUID objectives were: 1. in-depth analysis of the problem situation with regard to DUI/DUID in Europe; 2. assessment of prevalence and accident risks of DUI/DUID on the basis of epidemiological and experimental studies; 3. evaluation of oral fluid screening devices and cost-benefit analysis of a strengthened drug driving enforcement; 4. development of a classification system for medicines; 5. evaluation of driver rehabilitation schemes and strategies of licence revocation; 6. assessment of the effectiveness of new prescribing and dispensing guidelines for medicines; 7. development of policy recommendations on the basis of DRUID results. All in all, the DRUID results revealed that prevalence of psychoactive substance consumption, DUI/DUID, enforcement levels and legal strategies are very heterogeneous in European countries. Nonetheless, DRUID derives general recommendations as base for national solutions.
