To evaluate a large drunk-driving enforcement program at the US/Mexican border to reduce the number of youths crossing the border to drink in Tijuana. This paper also describes the research data used to develop and manage the program. Data from a border breath-test survey were used to dramatize the problem and gain public support for action. The data were also used to help design the enforcement effort and measure progress in reducing the cross-border drinking problem.
The number of news events generated around the occurrence of special enforcement efforts were used to measure project activity and to predict changes in the numbers of youths crossing into Mexico, their returning BACs and reductions in alcohol-related crashes during a 3-year period.
An urban county on the Mexican border.
Underage youths aged 18-20 years and young adults aged 21-30 years residing in San Diego County.
Immigration and Naturalization Services provided population counts of the number of individuals crossing each weekend night from Tijuana into the United States through the San Ysidro border facility. Breath-test surveys of a random sample of these returning crossers provided data on the number of US residents visiting bars and nightclubs in Tijuana and on alcohol consumption at Tijuana bars and nightclubs. Night-time had-been-drinking crash data involving young drivers in several California counties served as an outcome measure of public health and safety.
Analysis of data involving more than 2 million pedestrians returning from Tijuana indicated that the Operation Safe Crossing program reduced the number of late-night crossers by 31.6%.
Effective use of data through media advocacy programs to support an enforcement effort can reduce alcohol-related crashes.
评估美国/墨西哥边境一项大型酒驾执法计划，以减少越境前往蒂华纳饮酒的青少年人数。本文还描述了用于制定和管理该计划的研究数据。边境呼气测试调查的数据被用于凸显这一问题并争取公众对采取行动的支持。这些数据还被用于帮助设计执法工作，并衡量在减少跨境饮酒问题方面取得的进展。
利用围绕特别执法行动产生的新闻事件数量来衡量项目活动，并预测三年期间进入墨西哥的青少年人数、他们返程时的血液酒精浓度以及与酒精相关的撞车事故减少情况的变化。
墨西哥边境的一个城市县。
居住在圣地亚哥县的18 - 20岁未成年青少年和21 - 30岁的年轻人。
移民归化局提供了每个周末夜晚从蒂华纳通过圣伊西德罗边境设施进入美国的人员数量统计。对这些返程者的随机样本进行呼气测试调查，提供了有关前往蒂华纳酒吧和夜总会的美国居民人数以及蒂华纳酒吧和夜总会酒精消费情况的数据。加利福尼亚州几个县涉及年轻司机的夜间酒后驾车撞车事故数据用作公共卫生和安全的结果指标。
对涉及200多万从蒂华纳返程行人的数据进行分析表明，“安全过境行动”使深夜过境者人数减少了31.6%。
通过媒体宣传计划有效利用数据以支持执法工作，可以减少与酒精相关的撞车事故。
