ALCOHOL EDUCATION: A LONG-TERM STRATEGY FOR PREVENTING TRANSPORTATION ACCIDENTS. YOUNG DRIVERS IMPAIRED BY ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS. PROCEEDINGS OF A SYMPOSIUM ORGANIZED BY THE INTERNATIONAL DRIVERS BEHAVIOUR RESEARCH ASSOCIAION HELD IN AMSTERDAM, 13-15 SEPTEMBER 1986

Concerned about the pervasiveness of alcohol and other drug use in all modes of transportation, the national transportation safety board has made numerous recommendations designed to reduce the incidence of alcohol and drug use by operators in our nation's transportation system. However, the board recognizes that a long-term strategy to reduce transportation accidents must include prevention and education programmes to complement current efforts to remove alcohol-or other drug-impaired operators from our nation's transportation system. On March 11-12, 1985, the national transportation safety board conducted a public forum on alcohol/safety education. The purpose of the forum was to examine school and community programmes designed to prevent alcohol and other drug abuse, discuss the major issues surrounding alcohol/drug prevention, and develop recommendations to governmental and private agencies to improve alcohol/drug abuse prevention programmes. Educational and safety experts from across the country jointed representatives from citizens and parent groups to discuss the above mentioned issues. The results of their presentations and discussions will be given with recommendations to improve the state of alcohol/safety education in the usa. (Author/TRRL)
