Abstract

This study investigated why drinking and driving in the United States decreased almost twice as much for drivers under age 21 as for drivers 21 and older from 1982 to 1998. The study documented the changes in youth drinking and driving, and in youth drinking, and compared the changes across states and regions. It analyzed the effects of the National Minimum Drinking Age and state Zero Tolerance laws, of programs directed at youth drinking and driving, and of factors not directed specifically at youth. It compared influences and trends in the United States with those in Canada. The study recommends how to reduce youth drinking and driving even further.
