ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS RELATED TO YOUNG DRIVERS' TRAFFIC ACCIDENT INVOLVEMENT

This paper examines patterns of driving, drinking, and drug-taking among young people and assesses hypotheses linking these behaviors to collision involvement. The implications for social policy of current knowledge about these problems are discussed in terms of approaches that stress primary prevention. Specific recommendations are offered for legal change to reduce the incidence of alcohol- and drug-related damage among young people.
