Results of Special Accident Study Teams /ASAP Coordination Conference, June 12-13, 1974, Washington, D.C.

The second Special Accident Study Teams / ASAP Coordination Conference was held in Washington, D.C. on June 12-13, 1974. Members of the four accident investigation teams (Boston University, Maryland Medical-Legal Foundation, University of New Mexico, and University of Oklahoma) studying the alcohol/ drug problem in their area, the four Alcohol Safety Action Programs (ASAP) in the study areas (Boston, Baltimore, Albuquerque, and Oklahoma City), NHTSA regional representatives, and members of the NHTSA monitoring groups (Office of Statistics and Analysis, Office of Driver and Pedestrian Programs) all met for the two-day Conference to continue coordination of activities and to report recent findings. More specifically, the objectives of the Conference were three-fold: (1) To report on progress made in Study Team/ASAP coordination procedures subsequent to first conference, on any problems encountered by the Teams in the agreed upon minimal set of human factors data collected in all four studies, and on any changes in methodologies, needs, or experimental design. (2) To present up-to-date findings in the study areas including alcohol-involved driver psychosocial profiles, proportion of alcohol-involved and problem drinkers in samples studied, accident-involved drivers exposure to ASAP countermeasures, typical errors alcohol-involved drivers are making, etc. (3) To discuss the future of the four ASAPs and the Special Accident Studies including continuations, modifications, changes in needs, changes in emphasis, etc.
