Description
Dear Editor: A study by Hingson, Heeren, Zakocs, Kopstein and Wechsler (2002) reported alarming estimates of the number of U.S. college students in the age range 18-24 in 1998 who experienced alcohol-related problems: over 1400 students died (including motor vehicle accidents), over 2 million of 8 million college students drove under the influence, and over 3 million of 8 million college students rode with a drunk driver. A variety of approaches have been employed to try to reduce the risks associated with the consumption of alcohol among young people, including promising new approaches that include some type of experiential learning. An example of such an approach is the "Road Ready Teens" videogame developed by several groups (e.g., Mothers Against Drunk Driving; MADD, 2003) to increase teenagers' awareness and understanding of driving risks, including driving while drunk. An evaluation of this game by The University of Michigan Transportation Institute showed that playing the game increased a group of twenty-five teenagers' perceptions of personal driving risk (Bingham & Shope, 2003).
