What is DADD?
Drowsy driving remains a significant yet often overlooked cause of road accidents. Healthcare professionals play a critical role in helping reduce this risk, particularly when managing allergies and prescribing medications that may cause drowsiness or impair alertness.
Doctors Against Drowsy Driving (DADD) is a movement that empowers healthcare professionals to integrate safer prescribing practices and patient education into everyday clinical care. By encouraging simple conversations about driving habits and treatment-related risks, DADD aims to help prevent avoidable accidents and improve patient safety beyond the clinic.
