Abstract

This study examines the frequency with which college students placed themselves at risk for alcohol-related traffic fatalities, either by driving while alcohol-impaired or riding with an alcohol-impaired driver. On a given weekend night, 18 per cent (n=60) of students surveyed placed themselves at risk of driving involved in an alcohol-related traffic fatality. Some 66 per cent of the at-risk subjects reported returning home with an alcohol-impaired driver. Recommendations are made for strengthening prevention efforts.
