    Summary

    Countermeasures in Canada to reduce impaired driving had limited, short-term impacts due to evaluation issues. A comprehensive approach addressing drinking and driving habits is needed for effective behavioral change.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Transportation Safety
    • Criminology

    Background:

    • Impaired driving and alcohol-related accidents remain significant public health and safety concerns in Canada.
    • Existing countermeasures aim to detect, deter, and reduce impaired driving incidents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an overview of countermeasures implemented and evaluated in Canada to reduce impaired driving.
    • To assess the effectiveness and impact of various intervention strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of implemented legal measures, public information campaigns, rehabilitation programs, and technological aids.
    • Evaluation of the impact of these countermeasures on drinking and driving behaviors and outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Most countermeasures demonstrated limited and short-term effects on reducing impaired driving.
    • Methodological shortcomings in evaluations often impeded a full understanding of countermeasure effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive, systems-oriented strategy is necessary to effectively change drinking and driving behaviors.
    • Focusing on motivational factors and providing alternatives to impaired driving is recommended.
