Preventing Drunk Driving

Preventing Drunk Driving provides a sample of some of the work presently being done in the field. Contributors explore ways to increase designated driver behavior, to provide drinkers with feedback about their level of intoxication, and to identify potential recidivists. They explain how they are creating theoretical models of drunk driving intervention behavior, assessing the usefulness of vehicle interlock programs, and using mapping to target prevention activities to those most at risk.
