Abstract
In a study of 124 high-risk drivers almost 50% of the drivers had a severe problem with alcohol and were driving without a valid license. High-risk drivers not identified as drinking drivers are as potentially a threat to public health as those individuals arrested for driving while intoxicated. Intervention programs for high-risk drivers cannot ignore alcohol education and, where appropriate, alcohol treatment as an identifiable programmatic strategy.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
