PROCEEDINGS OF THE WORKSHOP ON ALCOHOL-RELATED ACCIDENTS IN RECREATIONAL BOATING, WARRENTON, VIRGINIA, NOVEMBER 5-7, 1985
The purpose of the Workshop on Alcohol-Related Accidents in Recreational Boating was to clarify research needs relating to alcohol involvement in recreational boating accidents. The objective was to identify prospective research projects that are necessary, feasible, and affordable and to assign a priority ranking to the proposed projects. Three specific concerns addressed by the workshop were: (a) Improving the information available about specific patterns and problems of alcohol use of boaters; (b) Improving the technical and legal bases for establishing and enforcing restrictions against alcohol-impaired boat operation; and (c) Improving the education of boaters regarding the hazards of alcohol in recreational boating. This report contains a summary of the proceedings of the workshop. Conferees met initially in plenary sessions to discuss the current state of knowledge regarding alcohol use and boating safety as well as the problems involved in expanding this base of information. They were then divided into four groups that met concurrently in workshop sessions. Results of workshop discussions were presented in subsequent plenary sessions, and a final list of research topic proposals was agreed upon and ranked by the group.
