ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT IN FATAL TRAFFIC CRASHES 1988. NHTSA TECHNICAL REPORT

This report presents estimates of alcohol involvement in fatal traffic crashes that occurred during 1988. Several comparisons of alcohol involvement for the period 1982-1988 are presented to investigate changes and trends. The data are abstracted from the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) and represent a combination of actual blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test results and estimated BAC distributions for those drivers and non-occupants for whom no BAC test results are available. The estimates are made using a model developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
