TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - Road traffic accidents and the price of beverage alcohol in trinidad and tobago 1966-1975 JO - Proceedings International Council on Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Safety Conference A1 - Beaubrun, M.h. SP - 226 EP - 230 VL - 1982 IS - N2 - Consumption of alcohol has been shown to be closely related to the ratio of the price of the cheapest beverage alcohol to per capita income (relative price). Using this yardstick, a striking inverse correlation has been demonstrated between the relative Price of Rum and Road Accidents in Trinidad and Tobago over a ten year period (r = -0.978, p= less than .01). The importance of this for prevention needs to be drawn to the attention of governments in the region.
