Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
One hundred sixty-three fatal road traffic accidents (RTAs) resulting in 178 deaths occurring from 1983-1987 in a Danish county have been studied from a preventive perspective. Alcohol was an important factor in 41% of all fatal RTAs. Other factors such as high speed, the use of seat belts and helmets, and technical defects are mentioned. Also, the material has been analyzed according to types of accidents. Prospects for the local prevention of RTAs are discussed with particular emphasis on accidents related to alcohol and high speed. Examples are given of preventive activities where experience gained through the present study have been useful. |
