Table 2.
Distribution of BAC by race/ethnicity for exposed and fatally injured drivers in single-vehicle crashes

The BAC distribution for crashes (cases) is based on the observed and imputed BAC values from 2006–07 FARS. Percentages in controls are weighted according to the sampling weights from 2007 NRS. The total number of drivers in Exposure is larger than that reported in Table 1 because n=23 drivers had BACs but did not report race/ethnicity information.
