archived

The purpose of the program is to design/tailor, implement and evaluate Native American community-based interventions with demonstrated effectiveness for preventing motor vehicle injuries within the following areas: 1) strategies to reduce alcohol-impaired driving among high risk groups; 2) strategies to increase safety belt use among low use groups; and 3) strategies to increase the use of child safety seats among low use groups. An overriding intent of this funding is to assist tribes in developing evidence-based effective strategies in programs, which take into consideration the unique culture of Native Americans.
