NASID Framework

The NASID Conference was a resounding success thanks to so many of you! The panel discussions elicited a number of priorities and recommendations for the NASID national strategic framework. The following key themes emerged:

Prioritization of multiple substance impaired driving
Data challenges and gaps
Roadside testing with field sobriety tests and other emerging technologies
Expanding toxicology testing and lab capacity
Educating policy makers and other key stakeholders on the issues of multiple substance impaired driving
Focus and support for impaired driving enforcement

The input from the attendees helped us achieve a key objective of this conference by providing the board with recommendations that can be molded in a national strategic framework and providing recommendations to the membership on key priorities.
