| Summary | This study aims at proposing a three-stage research approach to rank strategies for preventing drunk driving in Taiwan. Firstly, a questionnaire survey is conducted to identify factors that influence drivers to choose drunk driving, such as drinking frequency, driving behavior, personal cognition. Secondly, a framework of strategies for preventing drunk driving including goals, evaluation criteria and strategies is set up. Finally, a large group decision making method is used to rank strategies for preventing drunk driving.The result of logistic regression analysis found that drunk driving experience, knowledge of related regulation, level of safety awareness, level of intoxication, perceived likelihood of enforcement, self-control capability and age can significantly affect a driver’s choice on drunk driving. The ranking results of the prevention strategies further indicates that “intensive law enforcement” is the most effective strategy to perform, followed by “confiscation of vehicles” and “immediate short-term detention”.In summary, this study found that the most effective strategies to avoid drivers from drunk driving are enforcement-related. Thus, we suggest that the preventing strategies in Taiwan should be given greater priorities to intensive law enforcement along with implementing vehicle impoundment and immediate short-term detention. Meanwhile, strategies that rise social pressures and promote cognition are also effective and necessary. Through multiple facets of prevention, a more comprehensive solution can be developed. |
