Intervention strategies to detect and/or deter impaired drivers encompassed the following: legal measures; mass smedia and educational campaign; rehabilitative programs for convicted impaired drivers; technological aids to the prevention and detection of impairment; and systems aproaches. It was found that a systems approach would be the most practical direction for countermeasure development.
