Sheriff’s deputies of St. Clair County, Alabama have been flagging down motorists and steered them toward federal highway safety researchers. The researchers asked them a few questions about drinking and drug use and asked them for breath, saliva and blood samples — offering them $10 for saliva and $50 to give blood.

It’s not just in Alabama. The roadblocks are part of a national study led by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is trying to determine how many drivers are on the road with drugs or alcohol in their systems. Similar roadblocks will be erected in dozens of communities across the nation this year, according to the agency. The survey provides useful data about alcohol and drug use by drivers, and participation is completely voluntary and anonymous.

What do you think about these ‘anonymous’ surveys?
