This paper provides an update on previous work that examined alcohol use among fatally injured operators of three types of recreational vehicles - snowmobiles, bicycles and all terrain vehicles (ATVs). It uses data from the TIRF Fatality Database from 1987 through 1999 to compare alcohol involvement in fatally injured operators of these vehicles to that among fatally injured drivers of automobiles. The implications of the findings for programs and policies are discussed. (Author/publisher) For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD Abstract No. E201067.
