目的：研究人口统计学和行为因素的相对重要性，以及酒精的使用，在机动车碰撞（MVC）相关的伤害在青少年sample.Methods：数据收集两个样本的青少年。在研究1中，来自三所不同高中的1576名9年级到12年级的学生提供了过去六个月内冒险行为和受伤经历的信息。研究2对与MVC相关损伤相关的行为因素进行了更精细的分析。一个样本的573名青少年男性从一个所有的男孩教区高中完成问卷评估风险承担，注意力和行为问题，酒精使用，驾驶行为，和自我报告injure.Results：率自我报告MVC相关的伤害为6个月的时间是一致的两项研究，从10%的混合性别样本中的16%的所有男性样本。与以前的研究结果一致，男性报告更频繁的MVC相关的伤害和更高的冒险行为率。在研究I中，年龄和冒险行为是骑车或开车时受伤的预测因素。在所有男性样本中，冒险行为和行为问题是MVC相关injuries.Conclusions的显着预测因素：冒险是一个一致的预测一般和MVC相关的伤害。对青少年的干预工作可能会针对增加安全驾驶策略以及减少冒险行为。(C)青少年医学协会，2000年。
Purpose: TO examine the relative importance of demographic and behavioral factors, as well as alcohol use, in motor vehicle crash (MVC)-related injuries in an adolescent sample.Methods: Data were collected from two samples of adolescents. In Study 1, a total of 1576 9th through 12th graders from three different high schools provided information on risk-taking behavior and injuries experienced during the previous six months. Study 2 involved a more fine-grained analysis of behavioral factors related to MVC-related injuries. A sample of 573 adolescent males from an all-boys parochial high school completed questionnaires assessing risk-taking, attention and behavior problems, alcohol use, driving behavior, and self-reported injury.Results: Rates of self-reported MVC-related injuries for a 6-month period were consistent across the two studies, ranging from 10% in the mixed-gender sample to 16% in the all-male sample. Consistent with previous findings, males reported more frequent MVC-related injuries and higher rates of risk-taking behavior. In Study I, age and risk-taking behaviors were predictive of injuries while riding or driving in a car. In the all-male sample, risk-taking behavior and conduct problems were significant predictors of MVC-related injuries.Conclusions: Risk-taking is a consistent predictor of both general and MVC-related injuries. Intervention efforts with adolescents may be targeted at increasing safe driving strategies as well as decreasing risk-taking behaviors. (C) Society for Adolescent medicine, 2000.
