Abstract:The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of developing programs for assisting parents in preventing driving after drinking among their children. This report contains results from a literature review conducted in order to identify information relevant to developing such prevention programs and the key issues for which information was lacking. Findings from focus groups conducted with parents of adolescents appear in a companion report: "Identification of Parental Program Structures for Deterring Adolescent Drinking and Driving. Volume I: Report on Focus Groups with Parents". This review concentrated on literature published in the last decade, reviews of studies, literature that directly concerned preventing driving after drinking, empirical studies, and material about prevention in the U.S. The literature provided little guidance in developing prevention programs to aid parents. Findings included the following: (1) few studies address how parents can prevent adolescent drinking or drinking-driving; (2) there are few rigorous and positive evaluations of any types of substance abuse prevention efforts; (3) parents feel youth drinking-driving is a major problem, but appear to underestimate drinking and drinking-driving among their own children; (4) adolescents indicate that parents do influence their drinking, but parents tend to feel they have little impact and therefore, many take few actions to try and control teen drinking. /Abstract from report summary page/
