IMPAIRED-DRIVING PREVENTION PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH: GUIDELINES FOR SUCCESS

The guidelines presented here build on the experience of five county-wide impaired driving prevention programs for youth in Michigan between 1992 and 1995. This document is divided into seven sections. The first section discusses why one should consider organizing an impaired driving prevention program for youth and presents an overview of impaired driving prevention programs for youth. The second section discusses the process of problem identification, resource assessment, assessment of other communities' experience developing a program concept, and coalition building. The third section discusses program development, program organization, and program implementation. The fourth section focuses on why one should evaluate and what is involved in evaluating program effectiveness. The final three sections list reports and other publications used in preparation of these guidelines, as well as resources that may be helpful in planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating impaired driving prevention programs for youth and agencies and organizations involved with youth or impaired driving issues.
