Trend on Drink Drive and Road Accident Across Asian Region: A Review Study

Road accident is a distressing issue that has been faced by all countries worldwide. Asia contributed more than one fourth of the total of road accident rates every year. One of the leading road accident factors that have been reported by most scholars is the drink drive problem. Therefore, this review was conducted with an aim to systematically study the trend on the drink drive and road accident. Searches were performed in Wiley Online Library, Emerald, Scopus, Science Direct and Web of Science. A total of 2462 findings have been yielded and after the screening and reviewing process, only 23 studies were included in this review. In overall, most of the included studies were published in Accident Analysis and Prevention journal within the years of 2000 onwards. The scholars mostly have undertaken their studies using the case series research design and using the accident data cases as their sample. Finally, most of the studies were undertaken in China.
