Several states recently lowered the legal drinking age to 18. The objectives of the study were: (1) To determine if alcohol-related crashes increased among legally affected populations in three study states, (2) to determine, if changes occurred, whether a causal relationship exists between the crash experience changes and the legal changes. Seven states were studied in a multiple-time-series quasi-experimental design. Through controlled time-series analyses it was found that statistically and socially significant increases in alcohol-related crashes resulted in Michigan and Main following the lower legal drinking age.
