TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Alcohol involvement in fatal motor-vehicle crashes--United States, 1999-2000 JO - MMWR: Morbidity and mortality weekly report A1 - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USA, SP - 1064 EP - 1065 VL - 50 IS - 47 N2 - The following table compares alcohol involvement in fatal motor-vehicle crashes by age group and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels for 1999 and 2000. A fatal crash is considered alcohol-related by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) if either a driver or nonoccupant (e.g., pedestrian) had a BAC of > or =0.01 g/dL in a police-reported traffic crash. Because BACs are not available for all persons in fatal crashes, NHTSA estimates the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities on the basis of a discriminant analysis of information from all cases for which driver or nonoccupant BAC data are available.
