Abstract:

This paper provides an overview of research evidence regarding the effectiveness of common environmentally based strategies for preventing drunk driving that can be implemented at the community or local level. Environmental approaches are defined as strategies that are applied widely to whole populations or groups and that are designed to change the legal or social environment in order to change when people drink, how much they drink, and how they transport themselves after they drink. The strategies are loosely divided into seven types: Availability of alcohol; Sales and service policies; Minimum purchase age; Information strategies; Controls on alcohol advertising and promotion; Impaired driving strategies; and Transportation strategies.
