母亲反对酒后驾车（MADD）可以说是过去世纪美国最成功的公共卫生基层公民倡导组织之一。2005年，MADD庆祝成立25周年。根据盖洛普组织2005年的一项全国民意调查，94%的公民认可MADD。人们普遍认为它改变了美国人对酒后驾车的态度。根据国家公路交通安全管理局的数据，自1980年MADD成立以来，美国与酒精有关的交通死亡人数已从估计的3万人减少到2004年的16,694人。本文探讨了MADD成立以来的增长，并试图衡量其贡献公众的理解受损驾驶问题和减少酒精相关的高速公路死亡和受伤，发生在第一个25年的存在。
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has arguably been one of the most successful public-health grassroots citizen advocacy organizations in the United States in the past century. In 2005, MADD celebrated the 25th anniversary of its founding. Based on a national poll by the Gallup Organization in 2005, MADD is recognized by 94% of citizens. It is generally given credit for changing American attitudes toward drinking and driving. Since MADD's founding in 1980, alcohol-related traffic deaths in the United States have decreased from an estimated 30,000 to 16,694 in 2004, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This article examines the growth of MADD since its founding and attempts to gauge its contribution to the public's understanding of the impaired-driving problem and to the reductions in alcohol-related highway deaths and injuries that have occurred in the first 25 years of its existence.
