This effort examines pre- to post-immigration trajectories for driving while impaired (DWI) and riding with impaired drivers (RWID) in a sample of 500 young adult recent Latino immigrants aged 18 to 34 years. Specifically, we will determine how changes in modes of transportation and alcohol use before and after immigration interact with sociocultural determinants to impact DWI/RWID trajectories in this population. The ultimate goal of the proposed study is the identification of culturally relevant early intervention opportunities and outreach strategies for preventing DWI/RWID among young adult recent Latino immigrants.
