Abstract

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, in 2017, 6.57% of all driver fatalities in alcohol-related crashes were younger than 21 years. The Assembly On the second morning, an assembly marks the end of the Shattered Dreams experience. Because the majority of the student body was not part of the hospital experience, additional speakers organized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving and/or other community resources share their stories. The organization will be able to see if there is a quantifiable improvement in driving behaviors for those who attended the program. Because the organization values continued expansion, it continues to strive for a greater impact in the Houston area.Conclusion Through partnering with multidisciplinary entities both in the hospital system and in the community, the Shattered Dreams program is an asset to Harris County.
