Alcohol Abuse And Alcoholism: What is RADD?
1800 college students die nationwide every year from alcohol related incidents, and over 75% of those deaths are vehicle related. Sometimes this gets ignored in the glamorous or stereo typical thinking about college drinking. SDSU is collaborating with an organization called RADD (Entertainment Industries Voice for Traffic Safety). They have a program that the state is helping to fund to encourage the use of designated drivers by providing students with RADD CA designated driver’s licenses. They can show this driver’s license at local establishments and get free non-alcoholic drinks and discounts on appetizers. When the student is ordering and pulls out the card this is their reminder to have a designated driver, and they are less likely to have someone drive drunk. One of their fun late night programs is the go cart racing they do in a large parking lot from 10pm to 1am. They have to test a ‘0’ on a breathalyzer before they can drive, and they are given a RADD driver’s license. This is to promote that they can have fun at this event and drive fast, but out on the real road they have to be safe and remember to have a designated driver and to use their RADD driver’s license. James Lange is the chairman for SDSU’s Alcohol and Other Drug Initiatives, or AOD Initiatives, an initiative that works with colleges to develop campus-wide programs to prevent alcohol and drug abuse. Lange has been the lead researcher on a number of AOD projects and is a consultant to a wide range of …
