Résumé :
This report has grown out of MADD Canada's ongoing public education, research and policy initiatives. Many of these projects require that statistical information on impaired driving and other impairment-related trauma be summarized and documented. This information must be current and comprehensive, in order to ensure that MADD Canada’s initiatives are based on the best available evidence.
The report's primary purpose is to provide a fully-referenced compendium of information on alcohol and drug consumption patterns, impaired driving and other related trauma. We reported the data as it appeared in the original source. Readers must exercise care because the various sources on a particular issue, even within in a single jurisdiction, often used slightly different age, BAC, consumption, timeframe, and other criteria in reporting the data. As well, the sources often used similar, but not identical, definitions of key terms. When a source defined a technical term, such as 'binge drinking' or 'heavy drinking,' we included the author's definition. Given that various sources were used, it is not surprising that the data on a specific issue were not entirely consistent. Nevertheless, clear and consistent patterns typically emerged. [Extract]
