This book relates the emerging interest in injury control to the science of traffic safety. State-of-the-art evaluation research methods are employed to assess the merits of policies designed to prevent automobile-related injuries in three problem areas: drunk driving, occupant restraint use, and highway speeding. The authors offer solid recommendations for future scientific and policy directions. A valuable resource for policymakers, legislators, public interest groups, industry specialists, and public health professionals.
