A CRITIQUE OF THE PAPER "STATISTICAL EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ALCOHOL SAFETY ACTION"

This critique refutes Zador's claim (1976) that Alcohol Safety Action Projects, as large scale social programs have been ineffective. The discussion takes issue with Zador's comparison groups, statistical design, statistical methods, and use of 12-month fatality totals for data analysis. In addition to weaknesses and deficiencies in these areas, the authors find Zador's conclusion unfounded based on the analysis presented. /Author/
