摘要: This paper describes the content and process of the Northern Territory (NT) Drink Driver Education (DDE) Course and examines its outcomes. The DDE course is underpinned by the principles of adult learning, social learning, and harm minimisation, and is set within the framework of competency-based education. It is an accredited course, developed to meet legislative requirements introduced in the NT in 1995, for those wishing to relicense after licence cancellation due to a drink driving offence. The DDE course is available throughout the NT, in urban centres and numerous remote communities, and a customised version of the DDE course is available for delivery to Aboriginal people. In 1997, the number of road fatalities in the NT was 32 per 100,000 population compared to 9.5 per 100,000 nationally. Of the fatal road crashes in the NT for that year, 52% were alcohol-related. A brief report outlining some of the available statistics on alcohol involved road crashes, as well as geographic and demographic data for the NT, is included to contextualise the DDE course as a road safety strategy.
