Drinking and Driving : A Road Safety Manuals for Decisions-Makers and Practitioners

Road traffic injuries are a major public health problem and a leading cause of death  and injury around the world. Each year nearly 1.2 million people die and millions  more are injured or disabled as a result of road crashes, mostly in low-income and  middle-income countries. As well as creating enormous social costs for individuals, families and communities, road traffic injuries place a heavy burden on health  services and economies. The cost to countries, possibly already struggling with other  development concerns, may well be 1%–2% of their gross national product. As  motorization increases, road traffic crashes are a fast-growing problem, particularly in  developing countries. If present trends continue unchecked, road traffic injuries will  increase dramatically in most parts of the world over the next two decades, with the greatest impact falling on the most vulnerable citizens.

The purpose of this manual is to inform readers of practical ways to develop coordinated and integrated programmes to reduce drinking and driving (including riding motorcycles) within a country. The manual is aimed at addressing drinking and driving among drivers. Commercial drivers are an especially important group to address in terms of drinking and driving because of the large number of passengers they can carry and/or the number of kilometres they are likely to travel. While impaired pedestrians are acknowledged as a problem, this issue is not addressed here.

A Planning Framework For Public Health Practice

 The Planning Framework for Public Health Practice (the framework) is a tool to improve planning and management in public health.

However, there is enough commonality in public health issues, methods and practice to make a general planning framework both possible and necessary
