The effects of mixing alcohol and prescription drugs on driving and cognitive performance: a randomised simulator study.

很大一部分交通事故与酒精和处方药的使用有关。人们对这些药物对驾驶性能的影响知之甚少，无论是单独使用还是与酒精结合使用。这项研究考察了常用处方药(安定和可待因)和酒精联合使用对健康志愿者驾驶相关技能和认知表现的影响。这项研究的结果将为未来的政策、临床和公共卫生战略提供参考。

A large proportion of traffic accidents are linked to alcohol and prescription drug use. There is poor understanding of these drugs on driving performance, both alone and in combination with alcohol. This study examines the effects of commonly used prescription medications (diazepam and codeine) and alcohol, in combination, on driving-related skills and cognitive performance in healthy volunteers. The results of this study will inform future policy, and clinical and public health strategies.
