Title:

Imputation Algorithm of Blood Alcohol Content Levels for Drivers and Pedestrians in Fatal Collisions

Accession Number:

01337953

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

Alcohol is often a factor in fatal collisions, but the presence of alcohol in the blood cannot always be confirmed. In this paper, we present the two stage, multiple imputation algorithm used by the Evaluation & Data Systems Division of the Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Directorate at Transport Canada to impute the blood alcohol content levels of drivers involved in fatal collisions, based on a number of descriptive collision variables. We then provide an artificial example that illustrates the algorithm, as well as the results of the imputation for a Canadian jurisdiction.
