美国所有州都禁止酒后驾车，但积极执法是有效减少这种行为的必要条件。清醒检查站，饱和巡逻，开放集装箱法，以及与执法工作有关的媒体宣传都是减少酒精损害驾驶的执法相关战略。我们对所有州的巡逻机构和当地执法机构的代表性样本进行了调查，以评估他们使用酒精受损驾驶执法相关策略的情况，并确定这些执法相关策略与从行为风险因素监测系统获得的自我报告的酒精受损驾驶行为之间的关系。我们发现，清醒检查站，饱和巡逻，并执行开放式集装箱法与酒精受损驾驶的患病率较低，但更重要的是，执法相关的策略相结合，酒精受损驾驶的减少比任何单独的执法相关的活动。此外，酒精受损驾驶执法相关策略与酒精受损驾驶的减少有关，超出了与酗酒减少的相关性。结果表明，执法机构应更加优先考虑使用组合的战略，而不是依赖于任何一个单独的执法活动。
All states in the U.S. prohibit alcohol-impaired driving but active law enforcement is necessary for effectively reducing this behavior. Sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols, open container laws, and media campaigns related to enforcement efforts are all enforcement-related strategies for reducing alcohol-impaired driving. We conducted surveys of all state patrol agencies and a representative sample of local law enforcement agencies to assess their use of alcohol-impaired driving enforcement-related strategies and to determine the relationship between these enforcement-related strategies and self-reported alcohol-impaired driving behavior obtained from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. We found that sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols, and enforcement of open container laws were associated with a lower prevalence of alcohol-impaired driving but, more importantly, a combination of enforcement-related strategies was associated with a greater decrease in alcohol-impaired driving than any individual enforcement-related activity. In addition, alcohol-impaired driving enforcement-related strategies were associated with decreased alcohol-impaired driving above and beyond their association with decreased binge drinking. Results suggest law enforcement agencies should give greater priority to using a combination of strategies rather than relying on any one individual enforcement activity.
