Effect direction plot summarizing the direction of road traffic outcomes in studies assessing alcohol policies. [37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60]. Notes. Effect direction: upward arrow ▲ = negative health impact (e.g., increase in fatalities); downward arrow ▼ = positive health impact (e.g., decrease in injuries); sideways arrow ◄► = no change/mixed effects/conflicting findings. Units of time in the study: large arrow
> 50; medium arrow
25-49; small arrow
< 24. Numbers beside each arrow represent the number of road traffic outcomes summarized, and no number appears in cases where only one outcome was evaluated. In Miller et al. (2004), we classified the actual outcome (severe injuries or fatalities) as fatalities
