Year: 1995
Type: article
Abstract: This guide was written primarily for alcohol and other drug prevention coordinators at post secondary institutions and for other campus administrators who are interested in implementing, improving, or expanding impaired driving prevention programs. The guide begins with an an executive summary written especially for top-level school administrators, including presidents, vice presidents, and deans. The guide's primary purpose is to present detailed descriptions of potentially effective approaches to preventing impaired driving. The guide presents: a wide range of interventions that some colleges and universities have already implemented that other institutions of higher education can either include in a new impaired driving prevention program or add to an existing program; the pitfalls that other colleges have encountered in initiating or expanding impaired driving prevention activities and suggestions for overcoming these obstacles; and a call for college officials to join with local and state officials to seek changes in policy that will help stem student involvement in alcohol-related traffic crashes. Chapter titles are as follows: (1) Alcohol-Impaired Driving: A Continuing Problem; (2) Increasing General Awareness; (3) Alternative Transportation Programs; (4) Responsible Beverage Service Programs; (5) Deterrence Strategies for Preventing Alcohol-Impaired Driving; and (6) Calling for Public Action. There are two appendices: (A) Risk Assessment Form, Stanford Community Responsible Hospitality Project; and (B) Sources of Other Information.
