Prevalence of Alcohol and Other Drug Use among Motor Vehicle Crash Victims Admitted to Select Trauma Centers

OMB 2127-0744

OMB 2127-0744

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seeks to examine the prevalence of legal and illegal drugs in the systems of seriously- and fatally-injured drivers and other crash-involved road users (e.g., passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and scooter riders) presenting directly to the selected trauma centers or morgues. The participating trauma centers and medical examiners will provide the study with de-identified blood samples, when available, that were already collected during their routine clinical treatment activities. The study will then conduct independent drug toxicology testing to determine the prevalence of alcohol and other drugs in the systems of the participants. The trauma centers and medical examiners will also provide the study with other de-identified participant classification information such as patient demographics, cause of injury, and injury severity. The trauma centers and medical examiners will provide this already-collected and de-identified information to the study in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations governing the sharing of such information and as approved by the study IRB. The trauma centers and medical examiners at the selected study sites universally draw patients’ blood for clinical treatment or autopsy purposes. The trauma centers and medical examiners also collect other information such as patient demographics, cause of injury, injury severity, and drugs administered during treatment as part of their normal operating procedures. Therefore, there is no estimated time burden on the participants as the trauma centers and medical examiners will be providing the study with de-identified blood samples already collected, but not used, during their routine clinical procedures, and other de-identified information that was already collected as part of their routine clinical documentation procedures.
