The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to bring the practices of engineering to advising the nation. [...] The National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) was established in 1970 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to advise the nation on medical and health issues. [...] The objectives of this research are to develop procedures to assess the existence and extent of under/over-reporting of impaired and distracted driving in crash data and to propose a methodology to improve the reporting of impaired and distracted driving in motor vehicle crashes. [...] The objectives of this research are to (1) design and implement formative research to identify teen social norms, attitudes, knowledge, and perceptions related to cannabis and driving, and evidence-based approaches and models to support parents and caregivers of teens; and (2) develop educational resources that support parents and caregivers in talking with teens about cannabis-impaired driving. [...] The objective of this research project is to confirm whether the current effort to lower speed limits in construction work zones is effective in reducing the rate and severity of crashes and injuries to workers and drivers.
