Résumé : | The purpose of this study was to estimate the avoidable alcohol attributable burden and costs of health care, criminality, and the indirect costs of lost productivity due to disability or premature death attributable to motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) in Canada. A policy effectiveness approach was used and the impact of three effective alcohol policy interventions aimed to reduce alcohol-impaired driving was modeled. The results demonstrated that implementation of drunk-driving countermeasures will further reduce the alcohol-attributable burden and costs due to MVCs in Canada. Implications for policy formation and targeted prevention efforts are discussed. |
