• Abstract:
  The report examined in this edition of "Traffic Tech" reviews the state of knowledge of alcohol-impaired driving among major racial and ethnic groups living in the United States. Although it primarily focuses on the relationship between impaired driving and race/ ethnicity, this review also covers patterns of alcohol use and misuse among various racial and ethnic groups within the United States. This report focuses on concepts such as race, ethnicity, and acculturation; discusses how the concepts are linked with health-related disparities; and describes how they relate to impaired driving. The review was performed by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, Inc., (PIRE), of Calverton, Maryland.
