Determinants of Youth Attitudes and Skills towards Which Drinking/Driving Prevention Programs Should Be Directed. Volume 1, the State-of-the-Art in Youth DWI Prevention Programs

This report summarizes the results of the first task of a multi-component project to analyze existing programs nationwide aimed at encouraging youth to avoid drinking and driving. The purpose of the analysis was to explore the underlying assumptions, premises, objectives, activities, and outcomes of these groups. The procedures included: conducting a review of programmatic, conceptual, and empirical literature; conducting a review of programs nationwide to provide an overview of existing youth DWI programs; and conducting on-site visits to twelve youth DWI programs to provide an in-depth analysis of a limited sample of programs. Volume I presents the methods, results, and conclusions of these explorations. Procedures included identification of youth DWI programs nationwide, telephone contacts requesting mail submissions of descriptive program materials, review of materials, and data extraction and analysis. /Abstract from report summary page/
