PREVENTION OF ALCOHOL-RELATED TRAFFIC PROBLEMS: COMPUTER SIMULATION OF ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES

Strategies to reduce alcohol-related traffic problems were evaluated for Wake County, North Carolina, Alameda County, California, and Washington County, Vermont. Computer simulation was utilized, employing primary data from national studies and local sources, as well as research findings. Increasing the perceived risk of sanctions against drinking and driving had significant but short-term impact, while increasing actual sanctions without purposefully raising perceived risk had low impact.
