IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY:  Screening and brief intervention have been shown to be effective strategies for reducing impaired driving as well as alcohol misuse.  The Hispanic population, particularly Hispanic males, are at a greater risk for involvement in alcohol-related crashes and fatalities.  The Hispanic Toolkit has been developed for use in emergency rooms, trauma centers and other healthcare settings.  The primary audience for the materials is nurses, doctors, counselors, and other healthcare professionals who have an opportunity to conduct SBI with Spanish-speaking patients.  NHTSA regional offices and State Highway Safety Offices can disseminate these toolkits and promote their use in Hispanic communities to hospitals, trauma centers, doctors, and other healthcare professionals.
