| Database objective | |
| Main objective |
The epidemiological analysis aims to assess the role played by drugs in fatal road accidents. This includes estimating the relative risk of fatal accidents that involve drugs and the prevalence of drugs among "circulating" (accident-free) drivers. Even though only drivers involved in a fatal accident are included, both of these parameters may be estimated, provided certain analysis conditions are met.
It also aims to characterise fatal accidents involving drivers under the influence and to compare these characteristics with those from other fatal accidents. The objective is to determine whether the first accident type bears specific traits that may be the basis for defining preventative initiatives that target drug users. |
