分心驾驶是一种日益严重的全球流行病，青少年司机报告经常从事分心驾驶行为。旨在减少这些不必要的驾驶行为的流行的公共卫生倡议和立法努力已经证明了碰撞风险的小，但显着降低。不遵守规定是所有年龄段的驾驶员都面临的一个已知问题，但对于新手、青少年驾驶员来说可能尤其成问题。使用健康信念模型的结构，人口因素之间的关系，感知的安全威胁，同伴的影响进行了调查与青少年的支持三种类型的分心驾驶立法：（a）阅读或发送短信/电子邮件，而驾驶;（B）手持手机的使用，而驾驶;（c）使用非驾驶相关的车内（NDIV）技术，而驾驶。调查青少年的看法提供了一个机会，了解分心驾驶执法和立法。方法：379名15 - 19岁的青少年（M = 16.12，SD = 0.56）从公立高中被招募。人口统计学，感知和支持分心驾驶进行了评估，使用自我报告调查。统计分析包括双变量相关性和调整后的优势比调查的影响，青少年支持分心驾驶literation.Results：女性青少年在2倍的优势，支持法律反对发短信/发电子邮件，而驾驶相比，男性青少年。更大的感知安全威胁与所有三种类型的分心驾驶立法（aOR = 1.10，133）。最小的协会被发现与同伴的影响。结论：安全和性别的感知威胁与青少年的立法支持。实际应用：与男性青少年司机相比，纳入与感知威胁有关的因素的干预措施和公共卫生运动可能对女性青少年司机更成功。未来的实验研究将有助于确定哪些因素影响青少年对分心驾驶的看法，以促进遵守相关立法。(C)2018国家安全理事会和爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Purpose: Distracted driving is a growing global epidemic, with adolescent drivers reporting frequent engagement in distracted driving behaviors. Public health initiatives and legislative efforts designed to decrease the prevalence of these unwanted driving behaviors have demonstrated small, but significant reductions in crash risk. Non-compliance is a known problem among drivers of all ages, but may be especially problematic for novice, adolescent drivers. Using a construct from the Health Belief Model, the relations between demographic factors, perceived threat to safety, and peer influences were investigated with adolescents' support for three types of distracted driving legislation regarding: (a) reading or sending text messages/emails while driving; (b) hand-held cell phone use while driving; and (c) using non-driving-related-in-vehicle (NDIV) technology while driving. Investigating adolescents' perceptions provides an opportunity to understand distracted driving enforcement and legislation. Methods: Three hundred and seventy-nine adolescents aged 15-19 (M = 16.12, SD = 0.56) were recruited from public high schools. Demographics, perceptions, and support regarding distracted driving were assessed using self-report surveys. Statistical analyses included bivariate correlations and adjusted odds ratios to investigate influences of adolescent support for distracted driving legislation.Results: Female adolescents were at 2 times greater odds of supporting a law against texting/emailing while driving compared to male adolescents. Greater perceived threat to safety was associated with all three types of distracted driving legislation (aOR = 1.10, 133). Minimal association was found with peer influences. Conclusions: Perceived threat to safety and gender were associated with legislative support in adolescents. Practical application: Interventions and public health campaigns that incorporate elements related to perceived threat may be more successful with female adolescent drivers than male adolescents. Future experimental research will help to determine what factors affect adolescents' perspectives on distracted driving to promote compliance with related legislation.
