Driver- and Passenger-Based Estimates of Alcohol-Impaired Driving in the U.S., 2001–2003
American Journal of Preventive Medicine Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2009, Pages 515-522

Episodes of driver- and passenger-reported AID increased substantially between the middle 1990s and the early 2000s. The passenger estimates suggest that drivers may under-report AID by about 50%. Public health interventions to reduce AID should give equal consideration to impaired drivers and their passengers.
