Title:
STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH THE PERSISTENT DRINKING DRIVER. APPENDIX C: WORKSHOP BACKGROUND PAPERS. C4. MEDIA APPROACHES TO THE PERSISTENT DRINKING DRIVER
Accession Number:
00676510
Abstract:
The media's potential to influence knowledge, attitudes and behavior makes it a natural candidate as a mechanism to address drinking and driving. Following comments on persistent drinking drivers as media targets, this paper briefly reviews five media strategies and their potential relevance to persistent drinking drivers: 1) public service announcements; 2) depiction of alcohol use in the popular media; 3) news coverage/publicity; 4) alcohol warning labels; and 5) restriction of alcohol advertising. In addition, an ongoing project at the Harvard Injury Control Center that is particularly relevant to the persistent drinking driver is briefly described.
