本研究探讨了协会的影响下驾驶（a）大麻和（B）酒精，机动车碰撞期间，在新西兰出生队列（n=936）的纵向研究。参与者报告说，在21-25岁期间，在大麻影响下驾驶的比率明显高于在酒精影响下驾驶的比率（p <0.0001）。此外，两种情况的增加水平之间存在统计学显著的双变量关联：（a）在大麻的影响下驾驶和（B）自我报告的在酒精影响下驾驶，以及主动机动车碰撞的风险增加（p < .0001）。这些关联被调整为潜在的混杂因素，包括平均驾驶距离和自我报告的危险驾驶行为。调整后，在大麻影响下驾驶与机动车碰撞之间的关联仍然很小（p= 0.064），而对混杂因素的调整将在酒精影响下驾驶与机动车碰撞之间的关联降低到统计学无意义（p > 0.70）。本研究的结果表明，对于某些人群来说，在大麻影响下驾驶的风险现在可能大于在酒精影响下驾驶的风险。(c)2008爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The present study examined the associations driving under the influence of (a) cannabis and (b) alcohol, and motor vehicle collisions during, in a longitudinal study of a New Zealand birth cohort (n=936). Participants reported significantly (p < .0001) greater rates of driving under the influence of cannabis than driving under the influence of alcohol during ages 21-25. Also, there were statistically significant bivariate associations between increasing levels of both: (a) driving under the influence of cannabis and (b) self-reported driving under the influence of alcohol, and increased risks of active motor vehicle collisions (p < .0001). These associations were adjusted for potentially confounding factors including average distance driven and self-reported risky driving behaviours. After adjustment, the associations between driving under the influence of cannabis and motor vehicle collisions remained marginally significant (p=.064), whereas adjustment for confounding factors reduced the association between driving under the influence of alcohol and motor vehicle collisions to statistical non-significance (p > .70). The results of the present study suggest that, for some populations, the risks of driving under the influence of cannabis may now be greater than the risks of driving under the influence of alcohol.
