The 10th Annual Alcohol Interlock Symposium was held in Australia for the first time in 2009, reflecting the progress that Australia has made in recent years in terms of new programs and the expansion of existing programs. The decision to hold the Symposium here was made to recognize the progress that has been achieved and the gains that have been made in these interlock programs. The purpose of the 10th Annual Alcohol Interlock Symposium is to continue the dialogue in relation to identifying and resolving challenges associated with implementation efforts. More importantly, the focus is directed toward bridging the gap between research and practice, as well as between policy and practice to truly streamline implementation and overcome barriers to progress.
