Abstract
While national accident record systems appear to provide an attractive method of comparing the effectiveness of traffic safety programs, differences in definitions, data collection methods and file structure may lead to misleading conclusions. Variations in crash definitions and methods for measuring alcohol involvement are described and illustrated with data from US crash files. Examples of international comparisons are provided.
