Process To Study the Prevalence of Drugged Driving in the U.S.:
Development of the Drugged Driving Reporting System
SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment
on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute on Drug
Abuse (NIDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish
periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected
agencies are invited on one or more of the following points: (1)
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including the
use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
To Submit Comments and for Further Information: To request more
information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and instruments, contact Harold Perl, Ph.D., Chief,
Prevention Research Branch, Division of Epidemiology, Services &
Prevention Research, NIDA, 6001 Executive Blvd., Rockville, MD 20852 or

Proposed Collection: Assessing an Online Process to Study the
Prevalence of Drugged Driving in the U.S: Development of the Drugged
Driving Reporting System. Type of Information Collection Request: 0925-
NEW. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The study seeks to provide
an improved understanding of the prevalence of drugged driving among
adult drivers in the U.S and will assess the effectiveness of the
online survey implementation process. The primary objectives of the
study are to: (a) To provide comprehensive data on drugged driving; (b)
determine if the Drugged Driving Survey Instrument (DDS) is an
effective and accurate measure of drugged driving among licensed U.S.
Drivers aged 18 and older; and, (c) to assess the effectiveness of the
survey implementation process, including various levels of incentives
for participation to determine the appropriate/optimal incentive amount
needed to obtain the desired number of total survey respondents within
the timeframe within which survey data will be collected. The findings
will provide valuable information concerning various aspects of
substance use and driving behavior, including: (1) Demographic
information about drivers who do and do not drive while impaired by
medication and/or drugs (e.g. age, zip code, type of driver's license);
(2) which drugs/medications are most likely to be used while driving;
(3) drivers' beliefs and attitudes toward drugged driving. OMB approval
is requested for 2 years. There are no direct costs to respondents
other than their time. The total annualized estimated burden hours are
750.
