背景。随着可支配收入水平的提高，前往发展中国家的国际旅行也在增加；这种趋势在成人和儿童中都可见。冒险态度是预防危险健康行为研究的基础，它可以作为旅行期间患病或受伤可能性的指标。本研究的目的是调查青少年的冒险态度是否与旅行特征以及前往非工业化国家旅行时患病或受伤的可能性相关。方法。数据分析来自 2008 年 YouthStyles 调查，这是一项年度邮件调查，收集 9 至 18 岁个人的人口统计数据和健康知识、态度和做法。旅行者被定义为在过去 12 个月内去过美国、加拿大、欧洲、日本、澳大利亚或新西兰以外的目的地的受访者。冒险态度是通过使用四项简短感觉寻求量表来衡量的。所有 p 值
Background. International travel to developing countries is increasing with rising levels of disposable income; this trend is seen in both adults and children. Risk-taking attitude is fundamental to research on the prevention of risky health behaviors, which can be an indicator of the likelihood of experiencing illness or injury during travel. The aim of this study is to investigate whether risk-taking attitudes of youths are associated with travel characteristics and likelihood of experiencing illness or injury while traveling to nonindustrialized countries.Methods. Data were analyzed from the 2008 YouthStyles survey, an annual mail survey gathering demographics and health knowledge, attitudes, and practices of individuals from 9 through 18 years of age. Travelers were defined as respondents who reported traveling in the last 12 months to a destination other than the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia, or New Zealand. Risk-taking attitude was measured by using a four-item Brief Sensation-Seeking Scale. All p values
