Abstract: The purpose of NHTSA's Web-based At-Risk Drunk Drivers/Riders Segmentation Research Survey is to obtain information about the characteristics of drivers and motorcycle riders who are at most risk for driving/riding drunk. NHTSA will conduct segmentation analysis to classify “at-risk” drivers/riders based on common demographics, drinking behaviors, attitudes, lifestyle characteristics and media habits to better target and reach the intended audiences with communications methods and techniques to reduce the number of deaths, injuries and economic losses resulting from drunk driving crashes on our Nation's roadways.

Affected Public: At-Risk Drunk Drinkers/Riders ages 21-54 years old.

Estimated Number of Respondents: The number of respondents is estimated to be 10% of the 22,000 respondents; thereby determining 2,200 respondents being eligible to take the full survey.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,868.
