The racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population is rapidly
evolving. This is of substantial importance to traffic safety
specialists because there is extensive evidence that the risk of
involvement in traffic crashes varies significantly across racial
and ethnic groups. Protective and risk factors affecting some
groups may not be relevant to others. To be effective, safety
programs and educational messages to curb such risks need to be
sensitive to the nation's growing cultural diversity. This book
reviews the state of knowledge of alcohol-impaired driving among
major racial and ethnic groups living in the United States.
Although it focuses primarily on impaired driving, it also covers
the precursor issue of the differences in ethnic drinking
practices. Finally, this book explores the meaning of key concepts
that define the problem of the meaning of race, ethnicity, and
acculturation; how these concepts are associated with
health-related disparities; and how they relate to impaired
driving.
