Impact of Legislation Raising the Legal Drinking Age in Massachusetts from 18 to 21.
Hingson, Ralph W.; And Others
American Journal of Public Health, v73 n2 p163-70 Feb 1983
Compares interview and fatal crash data from Massachusetts after the legal drinking age was raised, with data from New York, where drinking is legal from age 18. Suggests that without intensive, coordinated enforcement efforts, raising the legal drinking age does not reduce fatalities significantly. (GC)
