Texas Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Program Reduces Chance of Future Alcohol Related Violations for Young Drivers

The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of the Texas Drug And Alcohol Driving Awareness Program (TDADAP) in relation to alcohol-related offenses among young drivers. The efficacy of TDADAP has not been previously examined. For this study, data on TDADAP participants was analyzed in an effort to investigate the effectiveness of the voluntary, prevention-based alcohol and drug education program by examining the relationship(s) between individuals who have participated in TDADAP and subsequent alcohol-related offenses. This study sought to compare post-instruction alcohol related driving records of young drivers (ages 16-20 years) who had and had not completed the TDADAP.
