Published quarterly in print and online for twenty-one years, Impaired Driving Update has provided professionals engaged in the fight against drunk driving with the best thinking on programs, policies, technologies and practices for treatment, prevention, enforcement and education. The report's best work since 2001 is now preserved in this online archive, accessible either on a pay-per-article basis or through an annual subscription.

Drunk driving can’t be solved by the police or the courts or counselors alone, but by professionals in all of these fields and others, working together with alcohol and substance abusers and the community. Fostering the exchange of ideas and information among all professionals working to fight this deadly epidemic, Impaired Driving Update brings together experts in criminal law and the justice system, law enforcement and traffic safety, mental health and medicine, corrections and social services—ideas and solutions from working professionals for working professionals.
