A field accident research study was conducted in the City of New Orleans in 1975-76 in order to (1) determine the percentage and relative risk of alcohol involvement in adult pedestrian fatal and injury accidents; (2) identify in the alcohol involved accidents any unique accident types, behavioral errors, or other characteristics which distinguish these accidents from non-alcohol pedestrian accidents; and (3) study the alcohol use patterns and the drinker classifications of these pedestrians. The study was based on extensive data collection on adult (age > or = 14) pedestrian fatal and non-fatal accident cases and the establishment of control groups based on accident and random site sampling.
