Young and Reckless: An Analysis of Methods to Reduce Underage Drinking and Driving in Merced

Abstract

A literature review of statistics about underage drinking and driving, and studies showing the various factors that lead to underage drinking and driving is discussed. Studies that involve experimental models for reducing underage drinking and driving are then examined and analyzed for their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, a new model is synthesized, which could be applied to reduce underage drinking and driving in Merced, California.
