“…In their review, Shults et al (2001) report that American .08% BAC laws were associated with a median decrease of 7% in alcohol-related fatal crashes. Similar findings are reported in recently published studies (Eisenberg, 2003;Bernat et al, 2004;Tippetts et al, 2005;Kaplan and Gramoco Prato, 2007;Wagenaar et al, 2007). In Australia, lowering the maximum BAC limit to .05% led to significant decreases of 11% in night-time serious crashes in New South Wales and 18% in fatal crashes in Queensland (Henstridge et al, 1997).…”

“…Diggle et al (2002) The class of models just considered may also be appropriate for the situation in which m time series of equal length n i ≡ n are observed. For example in Bernat, Dunsmuir & Wagenaar (2004) the impact of reduction of legal blood alcohol concentration from 0.1 to 0.08 on single vehicle night time fatalities was investigated in the United States. In that study monthly time series of fatalities in m = 19 states each of length n i = 72 were analysed using a Poisson mixed model regression with random effects for before and after the change in legal blood alcohol levels.…”

Highly structured generalised response models, such as generalised linear mixed models and generalised linear models for time series regression, have become an indispensable vehicle for data analysis and inference in many areas of application. However, their use in practice is hindered by high-dimensional intractable integrals. Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) is a dynamic research area in the general problem of high-dimensional numerical integration, although its potential for statistical applications is yet to be fully explored. We survey recent research in QMC, particularly lattice rules, and report on its application to highly structured generalised response models. New challenges for QMC are identified and new methodologies are developed. QMC methods are seen to provide significant improvements compared with ordinary Monte Carlo methods.

“…This does not mean a range of other strategies that apply across the whole population of drivers should not be utilised where there is sufficient evidence for their effectiveness, such as modifying BAC (Bernat et al, 2004;, drivers' licence suspension policies (Wagenaar and MaldonadoMolina, 2007), and increasing alcoholic beverage server liabilities (Wagenaar and Holder, 1991). Current resources provided in rural and urban environments, respectively, may not adequately reflect the relative harms imposed by ARTCs in these different types of communities.…”
