大约20年前，在美国，人们对酒后驾车的儿童所面临的危险表示担忧。在过去十年中，对这一主题的研究步伐放缓。然而，在2010年，每天有3名15岁以下的儿童在车祸中丧生，469人受伤。这项工作的目的是描述美国的问题现状，并提出研究路线。从死亡分析报告系统（法尔斯）中，我们选择了21岁或以上的司机驾驶至少一名15岁以下儿童的撞车事故。我们确定了在一天中不同时间发生的撞车事故，其中司机超速，闯红灯或酒精阳性。我们描述了司机的人口统计数据，并研究了他们如何与不同的碰撞类型。我们发现，虽然驾驶儿童似乎可以防止研究的危险驾驶形式，但这种保护取决于驾驶员和儿童的人口统计数据和碰撞类型。没有明确的理由来解释司机决定危及他们所驾驶的儿童。在过去十年中，因超速和闯红灯而死亡的儿童比例保持相对稳定。未来的研究必须（a）检查现行儿童危害法的有效性;（B）检查致命事故以外的事故;（c）更具针对性，关注特定驾驶员的年龄和性别，特定儿童的年龄，事故发生的时间和事故类型。
About 20 years ago, concern was raised about the dangers children face when driven by drinking drivers in the United States. During the last decade, the pace of research on this topic subsided. Yet in 2010, every day three children younger than age 15 were killed, and 469 were injured in motor-vehicle crashes. The aim of this effort is to describe the status of the problem in the United States and suggest lines of research. From the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), we selected crashes in which a driver aged 21 or older was driving at least one child younger than age 15. We identified crashes that occurred at different times of the day in which the driver was speeding, ran a red light, or was alcohol positive. We described the drivers’ demographics and examined how they relate to the different crash types. We found that, although driving a child seems to protect against the studied forms of risky driving, such protection varies sharply depending upon the drivers’ and children’s demographics and the crash type. There is no clear reason to explain the drivers’ decision to endanger the children they drive. The percent of children killed in speeding-related and red-light running motor-vehicle crashes has remained relatively stable during the last decade. Future research must (a) examine the effectiveness of current child endangerment laws; (b) examine crashes other than fatal; and (c) be more targeted, looking at specific drivers’ age and gender, specific children’s ages, the time of the crash, and the type of crash.
