Alcohol Related Motor Vehicle Injuries and Deaths
What does this measure?
This indicator tracks the rate of alcohol-related motor vehicle injuries and deaths per 100,000 residents in New York State and several counties. It provides insight into the prevalence and impact of impaired driving in different counties and over time. A higher rate indicates a greater number of incidents relative to the population, highlighting areas where alcohol-impaired driving is a more significant public health concern.
