Community Planning and the Prevention of Alcohol Involved Traffic Problems: An Application of Computer Simulation Technology. Holder, H. D. & Blose, J. O. Evaluation and Program Planning; 1988, 11, 3, 267 277., 1988.
abstract   bibtex   
The application of computer simulation to community based planning for the prevention of alcohol involved traffic problems in San Diego County, Calif, is examined. A computer model was used to assist local planners in: (1) documenting the extent of problems; (2) better understanding the complex system that yields alcohol involved problems; \& (3) projecting the potential effects of various prevention strategies. In addition, planners' (N = 17) attitudes toward community alcohol prevention policy are assessed based on surveys administered before \& after the computer simulation intervention. Advantages \& limitations of such technology in community planning are discussed. 1 Table, 6 Figures, 45 References. Modified HA (Copyright 1989, Sociological Abstracts, Inc., all rights reserved.)
