Abstract

Alcohol involvement in traffic crashes is estimated for 1981 and 1982 using two national accident data files. In tracking the alcohol problem, no large changes can be detected in the proportions of alcohol related accidents from 1980 to 1982. However, at least four States show significant reductions in alcohol related fatal accidents for 1982 compared to 1981. Restraint usage is lower for alcohol-involved drivers in crashes than for sober drivers in crashes.
