Etiologic and Effectiveness Research to Address Polysubstance Impaired Driving

archived

The purpose of this funding is to support etiologic and effectiveness research on driving while polysubstance impaired. Specifically, research is solicited to identify risk and protective factors associated with polysubstance impaired driving and its associated deaths and injuries, or to identify effective interventions to prevent polysubstance impaired driving and its associated deaths and injuries. Polysubstance impaired driving includes driving while impaired by alcohol plus at least one other drug, such as marijuana or opioids.Research Priority #1 is to conduct etiologic research to inform our understanding of the characteristics of and risk and protective factors associated with impaired driving when alcohol plus other drugs (such as marijuana or prescription or illicit opioids) are involved. Research Priority #2 is to conduct effectiveness research to evaluate interventions most effective at preventing driving while impaired by alcohol plus other drugs (such as marijuana or prescription or illicit opioids).
