交通伤亡是全世界最常见的死亡和残疾原因之一。在美国，国家公路运输安全管理局（NHTSA）报告说，大约40%的交通死亡与酒精有关。然而，关于美国一般人群饮酒和驾驶行为的流行程度的信息仍然缺乏。这项研究的目的是检查基于驱动程序的大小（即，酒后驾驶和喝得太多后驾驶）和基于酒精的（即，与酒后驾车的司机一起乘车和作为乘客在饮酒时乘车）是当代美国面临的酒后驾车行为。过去一年的患病率数据分层的主要社会人口学特征，以确定重要的影响因素，酒后驾驶行为的进一步研究。数据来自全国酒精及相关疾病流行病学调查（NESARC，n= 43，093）。在2001-2002年，有2340万，或11.3%的美国成年人报告说，他们至少参与了四种基于司机或司机的酒后驾驶行为之一。基于驾驶员的饮酒和驾驶行为的患病率通常大于基于驾驶员的措施。对于所有四种饮酒和驾驶行为，年龄与风险呈负相关，男性风险更大，相关的男女比例约为3.0。我们的数据还表明，美国原住民，丧偶/分居/离婚或从未结婚的人，以及那些受过高中以上教育的人也面临着更大的酒后驾车行为风险。(c)2005爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Traffic deaths and injuries are among the most frequent causes of deaths and disability worldwide. In the United States, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that approximately 40% of all traffic fatalities were alcohol-related. Yet, information about the prevalence of drinking and driving behaviors of the U.S. general population is lacking. The purpose of this study was to examine the magnitude of driver-based (i.e., driving while drinking and driving after having too much to drink) and passenger-based (i.e., riding with a drinking driver and riding as a passenger while drinking) drinking and driving behaviors confronting contemporary America. The past-year prevalence data were stratified by major sociodemographic characteristics to identify important determinants of drinking and driving behaviors for further research. Data were derived from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC, n=43,093). In 2001-2002 there were 23.4 million, or 11.3%, of American adults who reported engaging in at least one of the four driver- or passenger-based drinking and driving behaviors. The prevalences of passenger-based drinking and driving behaviors were generally greater than those of the driver-based measures. For all four drinking and driving behaviors, age was inversely associated with the risk and males were at greater risk with the associated male-to-female ratios of approximately 3.0. Our data also suggested that Native Americans, individuals who were widowed/separated/divorced or never married, and those with greater than a high school education were also at greater risks of all drinking and driving behaviors.
