## Focus Area 26:Substance AbuseProgress Review

**Focus Area 26:****Substance Abuse****Progress Review**

**October 13, 2004**

**Notes:**
-Welcome to our progress review.  

## Substance abuse, including smoking, illegal drugs, and alcohol, costs our Nation more than $484 billion per year.  Illicit drug use alone accounts for about $161 billion. 
Drug abuse is inextricably linked with adverse effects such as infectious diseases, crime, accidents, and teenage pregnancies.
Approximately half of those suffering from a chronic alcohol or drug disorder also suffer from a chronic psychiatric disorder.

**BAC = 0.00 (no alcohol)**

- Note: BAC is the Blood Alcohol Concentration.

**Notes:**
Why?:
Due to legislative action such as increasing the drinking age to 21, and the development of improved enforcement mechanisms and strengthened legal penalties for impaired driving, alcohol-related fatalities decreased substantially during the 1980s and early 90s.  Reductions in alcohol-related traffic injuries, derived from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) General Estimates System, have also shown a substantial decrease.  Since 1982 alcohol-related traffic injuries have dropped 52%, and they have dropped 20% since 1998.  Comparing these decreases to the 25% decrease since 1982 and 12% decrease since 1998 for non-alcohol related traffic injuries suggests that prevention and enforcement efforts have had a significant impact on peoples’ decisions to drive while impaired. 
Since the mid-nineties, the number of fatalities has leveled off, although the number of alcohol-related injuries has continued to decrease significantly.  In addition, related research published in 2000 has noted that there are significant disparities between ethnic groups with regard to rates of traffic fatalities.  For example, according to Voas et al. (2000), 74% of all traffic fatalities among American Indians and Alaska Natives were found to be alcohol-related.  Further research is required to determine the factors underlying these developments as well as to develop culturally appropriate prevention strategies.
Comprehensive efforts at the federal and state levels to reduce the number of alcohol-related fatalities and injuries are ongoing.  Healthy People 2010 (HP 2010) Objective 26-24 tracks progress at the state level with regard to Administrative License Revocation laws.  HP 2010 Objective 26-25 notes the rapid progress toward the goal of enacting laws that lower the legal blood alcohol concentration levels to .08% in all fifty states.  
At the federal level, there have been considerable efforts among National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the National Institutes of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and  NIAAA to promote research into the causes of impaired driving, and in the development and dissemination of strategies that have proven effective in limiting impaired driving.  NHTSA has focused its efforts in three areas --high visibility enforcement, support for prosecutors and DWI courts, and alcohol screening and brief intervention.  In addition SAMHSA has convened, under the direction of Congress, an Interagency Coordinating Committee to Prevent Underage Drinking (ICCPUD), in which NHTSA and NIAAA are participating.

**Notes:**
.08 BAC laws – why?:
.08 became federal law in October 2000, requiring states to pass a .08 BAC per se law by October 1, 2003, or face the withholding of 2 percent of their federal highway construction funds.  States without the law by this date will lose an additional 2 percent of highway funds each year until 2006.  Passing the law before October 1, 2007 allows the return of withheld highway funds to those states that did not pass the law before October 1, 2003.
