Multicomponent interventions to reduce alcohol-impaired driving can include any or all of a number of components, such as sobriety checkpoints, training in responsible beverage service, education and awareness-raising efforts, and limiting access to alcohol. Interventions that qualified for this review:

Included participation of active community coalitions or task forces in their design or execution (community mobilization)

Impact
The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends the use of multicomponent interventions with community mobilization on the basis of strong evidence of their effectiveness in reducing alcohol-impaired driving.
Results / Accomplishments
Six studies qualified for the systematic review.
-42% decrease in alcohol-related crashes (1 studies)
-9% decrease in likelihood that drivers are alcohol-impaired
-Nighttime injury crashes: decreased 10% (1 study)
-Alcohol-related crashes among drivers aged 16–20: decreased 45% (1 study)
-There was a small decrease in the rate of crashes among drivers under 21 years of age, however, the actual number of crashes was not reported and the percentage change could not be calculated (1 study).
