Abstract:

Time-of-day, day-of-week, and month-of-year statistics are important for modeling the acute consequences of alcohol use and abuse. These consequences are not homogeneous through the year, although that assumption is often made when planning intervention strategies. In this paper we consider data from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles concerning alcohol-related fatal crashes, also Fairfax County, Virginia DWI arrests and finally Fairfax County, Virginia alcohol treatment admission data. We investigate the cyclic effects over the period 2000--2005.
