NATIONAL SURVEY OF DRINKING AND DRIVING DOCUMENTS ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS IN 1997

This article briefly reviews the publication "National Survey of Drinking and Driving Attitudes and Behavior, 1997," which was prepared by the Gallup Organization. This survey, conducted every two years by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), measures the status of attitudes, knowledge, and behavior of the general driving age public about drinking and driving. The surveys measure various topics including the reported frequency of drinking and driving, prevention and intervention, riding with impaired drivers, designated drivers, perceptions of penalties and enforcement, knowledge of blood alcohol levels, and alcohol-impaired crashes. The 1997 survey interviewed a nationally representative sample of 4,010 persons aged 16 or older in the United States between October 12 and December 12, 1997. Selected results of the survey are reported in this article.
