This study analyzed over 286,000 fatally injured drivers from 2003-2014 to update the demographic and behavioral profile of alcohol-impaired drivers in the U.S. The results showed that males ages 21-34 and Hispanics and American Indians had the highest rates of alcohol impairment. Behavioral factors like not wearing a seatbelt, previous DUI, and not having a valid license also significantly predicted impairment. Geographic analysis identified counties in Texas, especially Harris County, as hotspots for impaired driving crashes. The findings can help inform the development of targeted prevention programs.
Drunk driving crashes impose enormous costs on society. They kill someone every 31 minutes and injure someone every two minutes in the US. Alcohol is a factor in nearly half of all traffic fatalities. Crashes involving teen drivers ages 15 to 17 cost American society over $34 billion annually in medical, lost work, property damage, and quality of life costs. Young men ages 18 to 20 drink and drive almost as frequently as men ages 21 to 34 despite being under the legal drinking age. States with the highest rates of alcohol-related fatal crashes are Alaska, Texas, North Dakota, Massachusetts, and Arizona.

Driving Home the Point: Medicines, Impaired Driving, and YouRADDOrg
This document summarizes lessons from efforts to reduce alcohol-impaired driving that could inform approaches to prevent drug-impaired driving and overdoses. It finds that testing of fatally-injured drivers shows an increasing percentage testing positive for drugs versus alcohol, especially among younger drivers. Research is needed to better understand crash risks from different drugs alone and in combination with alcohol, and to develop methods to estimate drug involvement in crashes where testing is incomplete. Increased drug testing of drivers and studies of policies targeting drug-impaired driving, like drug per se laws, are also research priorities.

Buprenorphine prescriber shortages, standards, retention challenges, and predictors of positive outcomes are also reviewed.
This document summarizes a national dialogue on drug-impaired driving that took place in April 2012.
