Road traffic accidents in Kathmandu--an hour of education yields a glimmer of hope.

Abstract:

:After the Metropolitan Traffic Police, Kathmandu initiated a "No Drinking and Driving" policy in 2011 in which a major intervention for intoxicated drivers was mandatory 1-hour class to modify drunk driving behaviors, reports show that the number of road traffic accidents in the year 2012 decreased by 23 percent from the year 2011. The injury to fatality ratio decreased by 21 percent in this period. We remain encouraged by these statistics which confirm that increased enforcement of road traffic rules, combined with behavioral change programs, can have positive changes in LMICs which suffer considerably from the global burden of trauma.
