Dwyer Gil LeVerne Patricia Simpson The Department of Psychology The University of Memphis Overview of Reports Total number of Final Reports 73 Alcohol Countermeasures Countermeasures 2 DUI prosecutor/court 18 LEL 13 Youth Alcohol 4 Community Traffic Safety 3 Occupant Protection 7 Police Traffic Services 21 Pupil Traffic Safety 1 Traffic Records 1 Support and Administration 3 The attached GHSO 2005 Final Program Report Log & Summary lists all of the grantees, along with information about their grants, including their primary goal and whether they achieved their process goals (i.e., activities they engaged in) and, when relevant, outcome (impact) goals (i.e., changes in target behaviors related to traffic safety). Of the 73 grants, 18 addressed issues that did not have a direct bearing on increasing highway safety. Therefore, “N/A” appears in their Outcome Goals accomplishment column. For the remaining projects to be adequately evaluated, all should have provided outcome evaluations that included comparative crash statistics. Projects with potential impact on crash rates Total 55 Unknown impact 32 (58%) Positive impact 13 (24%) Partial impact 9 (16%) No impact 1 (1.8%) Unfortunately, only 41% of the projects that should have assessed impact on driving behavior and crash rates actually included such assessments in their evaluation reports. Our guess is that the 32 projects that did not assess any impact measures probably did not have any impact on traffic crash statistics. This means that we did not 2 learn anything from these projects regarding the effectiveness of the particular strategies they employed, making it difficult to determine if these strategies should be repeated in future projects. Table 1 presents, for several years, the number of relevant GHSO grantees and the percent that were assigned “unknown” with respect to project impact on some designated crash category.
