Alcohol use patterns and their association with sober driver vehicle control in high fidelity driving simulation.

CONCLUSIONS: The findings support our hypothesis that the AUDIT score and responses to individual AUDIT questions, among sober drivers, relates to vehicle control measures. Overall, our data highlight two important themes: 1) a need to further integrate alcohol use metrics with high-fidelity driving simulation studies to understand how drinking experience can relate to driver behavior and vehicle control and 2) the opportunity to integrate clinical perspectives with driving simulation research to strengthen clinically oriented alcohol-misuse prevention efforts.
