Pages

  0-0

Abstract

 Background: In Chile, a new law introduced in March 2012 lowered the BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION (BAC) limit for impaired drivers from 0.1% to 0.08% and the BAC limit for driving under the influence of alcohol from 0.05% to 0.03%, but its effectiveness remains uncertain. The goal of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of this enactment on road traffic INJURIES and FATALITIES in Chile.Study design: A retrospective cohort study.Methods: Data were analyzed using a descriptive and a Generalized Linear Models approach, type of POISSON regression, to analyze deaths and INJURIES in a series of additive Log-Linear Models accounting for the effects of law implementation, month influence, a linear time trend and population exposure. A review of national databases in Chile was conducted from 2003 to 2014 to evaluate the monthly rates of traffic FATALITIES and INJURIES associated to alcohol and in total.Results: It was observed a decrease by 28.1 percent in the monthly rate of traffic FATALITIES related to alcohol as compared to before the law (P<0.001). Adding a linear time trend as a predictor, the decrease was by 20.9 percent (P<0.001).There was a reduction in the monthly rate of traffic INJURIES related to alcohol by 10.5 percent as compared to before the law (P<0.001). Adding a linear time trend as a predictor, the decrease was by 24.8 percent (P<0.001).Conclusions: Positive results followed from this new ‘zero-tolerance’ law implemented in 2012 in Chile. Chile experienced a significant reduction in alcohol-related traffic FATALITIES and INJURIES, being a successful PUBLIC HEALTH intervention.
