Number of Kansas alcohol-related crashes

Posted on October 21, 2021 at 12:51 PM by Kansas Department of Administration

This measure is one indicator of the effectiveness of traffic safety campaigns.  It measures the statistical magnitude of impaired driving and how many crashes might have been avoided if the driver was not impaired.  All figures are for calendar year.

In some cases, quarterly data has been annualized to provide a better comparison to prior fiscal years.  Generally, measures that use percentages have been annualized.  This prevents distortions in the quarterly data that may occur because of smaller populations sizes.  Measures that show the numbers of incidents, activities or individuals reflect actual numbers for the quarter.  This allows users to see progress from one quarter to the next towards identified goals.
