AbstractThis report presents the first national prevalence estimates for drug-involved driving derived from the recentlycompleted <strong>2007</strong> <strong>National</strong> <strong>Roadside</strong> <strong>Survey</strong> (NRS). The NRS is a national field survey <strong>of</strong> alcohol- <strong>and</strong> drug-involveddriving conducted primarily among nighttime weekend drivers, but also daytime Friday drivers. The survey involvedr<strong>and</strong>omly stopping drivers at 300 locations across the continental United States; sites were selected through a stratifiedr<strong>and</strong>om sampling procedure. This included data that we collected during a two-hour Friday daytime session at 60locations <strong>and</strong> during four 2-hour nighttime periods (10:00 p.m. to midnight <strong>and</strong> 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. on both Friday<strong>and</strong> Saturday) at 240 locations. Both self-report <strong>and</strong> biological measures were taken. Biological measures includedbreath alcohol measurements on 9,413 respondents, oral fluid from 7,719 respondents, <strong>and</strong> blood samples from 3,276respondents. Oral fluid <strong>and</strong> blood samples were subjected to laboratory screening <strong>and</strong> LC/MS-MS <strong>and</strong> GC/MSconfirmation for 75 drugs <strong>and</strong> metabolites, including illegal, prescription, <strong>and</strong> over-the-counter drugs. These data wereanalyzed to develop the first national prevalence estimate <strong>of</strong> alcohol- <strong>and</strong> drug-involved driving. Two prior reports onthe <strong>2007</strong> NRS described: (1) the sampling plan <strong>and</strong> data collection methodology, summarizing the response patterns tothe various stages <strong>of</strong> the multi-part survey; <strong>and</strong> (2) the prevalence estimates for alcohol-involved driving derived fromthe study, <strong>and</strong> comparing them with the three previous <strong>National</strong> <strong>Roadside</strong> <strong>Survey</strong>s (NRS).17.
