  • Title: Alcohol involvement in fatal motor-vehicle crashes--United States, 1995-1996.
    Author: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    Journal: MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep; 1997 Dec 05; 46(48):1148, 1155. PubMed ID: 9395029.
    Abstract:
    The table and figure on page 1155 compare alcohol involvement in fatal motor-vehicle crashes for 1995 and 1996. A fatal crash is considered alcohol-related by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) if either a driver or non-occupant (e.g., pedestrian) had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of > or = 0.01 g/dL in a police-reported traffic crash. Because BACs are not available for all persons in fatal crashes, NHTSA estimates the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities based on a discriminant analysis of information from all cases for which driver or nonoccupant BAC data are available.
