Previous studies in Victoria have found drugs other than alcohol to be highly prevalent in drivers involved in fatal crashes. However there is scarce information on overall drug prevalence in the driving population where prevalence studies are not currently possible. One approach to studying drug use is to obtain information following hospital admission after crashes. Objectives were to determine the prevalence of drugs in injured Victorians involved in a motor vehicle accident.
