Title: RESEARCH PRIORITIES FOR DRUGS OTHER THAN ALCOHOL
Accession Number: 00970539
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Find a library where document is available Abstract: The drug research that is needed for traffic safety purposes can be viewed as having at least two distinct components: (1) whether and how potentially impairing drugs affect driving performance; and (2) the behavioral signs and symptoms of drug impairment. The world of drugs, both licit and illicit, changes continually with the result that research inevitably lags behind the usage curve. Also, because research is driven largely by society's perceptions of the illicit drugs which are more problematic, as well as by the pharmaceutical industry's requirement for data for Federal Drug Administration applications, it often proceeds somewhat haphazardly and incompletely. This paper focuses on just some of the mismatch between what is known and what needs to be known.
