本文调查了种族/族裔、语言技能（亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州、新墨西哥州和德克萨斯州拉美裔文化适应的指标）、收入和教育水平在与酒精相关的致命车祸中的作用。利用死亡分析报告系统 (FARS)，我们证实了之前的各州研究表明，高收入和教育水平对与酒精相关的致命机动车事故具有保护性影响。我们还证实，语言熟练程度/文化适应往往会增加西班牙裔女性因酒精相关死亡的风险。观察到西班牙裔亚群体中与酒精相关的死亡率存在差异。未来减少与酒精相关的交通死亡人数可能需要制定预防政策，考虑到种族/族裔群体和亚群体之间文化适应、收入和教育方面现有的差异。
This paper investigates the role of race/ethnicity, language skills (a proxy for acculturation among Hispanics in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas), income, and education level on alcohol-related fatal motor vehicle crashes. Using the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), we confirmed previous state-based studies showing that high income and education levels have a protective influence on alcohol-related fatal motor vehicle crashes. We also confirmed that language proficiency/acculturation tends to increase the vulnerability of Hispanic women to alcohol-related fatalities. Differences in alcohol-related fatality rates across Hispanic subgroups are observed. Future reductions in alcohol-related traffic fatalities may require prevention policies that take into account existent variations in acculturation, income, and education among racial/ethnic groups and subgroups.
