The spatial relationship between licensed alcohol outlets and alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes in Gwinnett County, Georgia

Article Abstract:

There is no significant relationship between alcohol-related single-vehicle crashes and close proximity to an on-site, retail alcohol outlet. This was the key finding in a case-control study conducted in Gwinnett County, GA, which aimed to determine whether there is an association between alcohol-related single-vehicle crashes and distance from drinking location. The study also found that Geographic Information System technology can be useful in assessing potential risk factors for alcohol-related motor-vehicle crashes.
