SURGEON GENERAL'S WORKSHOP ON DRUNK DRIVING. PROCEEDINGS. HELD IN WASHINGTON, D.C. ON DECEMBER 14-16, 1988
The Surgeon General's Workshop marks the beginning of a coordinated campaign to save the 25,000 lives that are lost each year because Americans persist in drinking and driving. Coordination began with having five Federal Departments sponsor the workshop - Defense, Education, Justice, Health and Human Services, and Transportation. The experts who participated in the workshop represent the broad array of specialists who must work together to bring this pervasive behavior under control. The participants spent 3 days generating solutions in 11 interrelated areas and developing recommendations that affect the wide range of people - from providers, from advocates to advertisers - who can play some role in alleviating this problem. The participants also suggested strategies for implementing the recommendations and set up timeframes for their accomplishment. They are included in the volume. Now it is our turn to act to make the Nation safe from the tragedies precipitated by combining alcohol and motor vehicles.
