Many public health issues date back in history and are still with us to this day. Alcohol and other substance use is just one example of an old problem still with us and when combined with driving in today’s world we get a dangerous combination. Public health efforts in this specific area have resulted in some positive developments and trends, but there is still much work to be done. In this book we have gathered recent international public health research not only about alcohol and driving, but also other public health topics from internationally renowned researchers from around the world, which we hope will be of interest to the readers.
