This is a new two-year clearance
request for the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Drugged
Driving Reporting Systems Phase II Small Business Innovation
Research (SBIR) contract. The contractors, Advocates for Human
Potential (AHP) and Carnevale Associates LLC (CALCC) will use an
online survey system to collect data on drugged driving using the
Drugged Driving Survey (DDS), an instrument developed for this
project. The DDS is designed to collect the national minimum data
set (NMDS) necessary to understand the magnitude of drugged driving
behavior in the U.S. Three State Departments of Motor Vehicles
(DMVs) will be selected to recruit 3,750 drivers ages 18 year old
and over, to answer an anonymous online survey. The contractors
will assess the effectiveness of these methods of implementation
and conduct qualitative and quantitative data analysis to assess
the effectiveness of the implementation process and to provide
comprehensive data on drugged driving for the targeted audience
that include researchers, policy-makers, prevention and treatment
programs, prescription drug monitoring programs and law enforcement
programs. Results of the study will help those targeted audiences
in the field of drugged driving with a much needed instrument that
consistently measures various aspects of substance use and driving
behavior, and that the data collected by it is reliable and
dependable for researchers. The data from the DDS will be compared
across states and settings, as well as to a variety of existing
governmental data sets to determine if it produces stable and
consistent results. In addition these researchers, policy-makers
and others will have access to enhanced data to provide for
decision-making support.
