The original Countermeasures That Work guide was prepared in 2005 by James H. Hedlund, Ph.D., of Highway Safety North, with the assistance of Barbara Harsha, executive director of the Governors Highway Safety Association. The guide was updated in 2007 by Hedlund and William A. Leaf, Preusser Research Group. The Third and Fourth Editions of Countermeasures That Work were updated by the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center (HSRC). Researchers with HSRC who contributed to the current edition include Arthur H. Goodwin, William L. Hall, J. Craig Raborn, Libby J. Thomas, and Mary Ellen Tucker. The first seven chapters from Alcohol-Impaired Driving to Older Drivers were included in the original guide. Chapters 8 and 9, on pedestrian and bicycle safety, were added in the Second Edition. In this Fourth Edition, the chapter on seat belts has been expanded to include child passenger safety. All chapters have been revised and updated for this edition. Information and research studies through May 31, 2008, have been reviewed and included as appropriate. Data has been updated to include information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSAs) Traffic Safety Facts 2006 annual report.
