"Psychoactive Pharmacology: Digital Screening and Driving Risk" -- Authors Edeaghe Ehikhamenor and Hope Obianwu's New Book Shows Drug Screening Keeps Roads Safer
(PRWEB) June 03, 2014 -- Portable electronic digital screening devices such as “Oral Screen” along with other screening devices were used to establish the prevalence of substances of abuse amongst road users in some selected cities in Nigeria. Blood, saliva, urine, and other biological fluids were screened in the study. Skills impairment, characterized by unsafe driving actions based on the level of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), was evaluated using a driving simulator.
The findings in this book were validated by application of a Field Impairment Test (FIT) or by modified clinical test of impairment.
