Title: RESEARCH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES FOR ETHNIC COMMUNITIES
Accession Number: 00970538
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Find a library where document is available Abstract: Analysis of the trends in traffic deaths from 1990 to 1994 suggests that all of the major ethnic groups experienced some benefits from current safety programs as indicated by a reduction in the proportion of alcohol related fatal crashes. The trends also show significant differences in the extent of the drinking and driving problem between ethnic groups. These differences suggest that, in addition to making standard safety programs culturally relevant for each ethnic group, it will be important to prioritize targets within ethnic groups to most efficiently use the resources available for traffic safety campaigns. This paper summarizes research needs and program ideas from ethnic researchers who participated in February 1999 and May 1999 diversity meetings.
