The social determinants of health influence both psychosocial risks and protective factors, especially in high-demanding contexts, such as the mobility of drivers and non-drivers. Recent evidence suggests that exploring socioeconomic status (SES), health and lifestyle-related factors might contribute to a better understanding of road traffic crashes (RTCs). Thus, the aim of this study was to construct indices for the assessment of crash rates and mobility patterns among young Colombians who live in the central region of the country. The specific objectives were developing SES, health and lifestyle indices, and assessing the self-reported RTCs and mobility features depending on these indices. A sample of 561 subjects participated in this cross-sectional study. Through a reduction approach of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), three indices were constructed. Mean and frequency differences were contrasted for the self-reported mobility, crash rates, age, and gender. As a result, SES, health and lifestyle indices explained between 56.3–67.9% of the total variance. Drivers and pedestrians who suffered crashes had higher SES. A healthier lifestyle is associated with cycling, but also with suffering more bike crashes; drivers and those reporting traffic crashes have shown greater psychosocial and lifestyle-related risk factors. Regarding gender differences, men are more likely to engage in road activities, as well as to suffer more RTCs. On the other hand, women present lower healthy lifestyle-related indices and a less active implication in mobility. Protective factors such as a high SES and a healthier lifestyle are associated with RTCs suffered by young Colombian road users. Given the differences found in this regard, a gender perspective for understanding RTCs and mobility is highly suggestible, considering that socio-economic gaps seem to differentially affect mobility and crash-related patterns.

En este estudio se indagó por la frecuencia del uso de tabletas, lugares de uso, mediación de uso y funciones de uso de las aplicaciones utilizadas. Para ello se presentó una escala tipo Likert para medir el cambio percibido por los estudiantes en relación con los rasgos metodológicos: rol docente e interacción entre estudiantes. Se llevó a cabo un ANOVA unidireccional en el que se encontró una relación positiva entre el cambio percibido en el rol docente y la frecuencia de uso de las tabletas, la orientación de uso de las tabletas por parte de los docentes y las funciones de las aplicaciones tales como crear y diseñar, evaluar aprendizajes o presentar información. Igualmente se evidenció una relación positiva entre el cambio percibido en la interacción entre estudiantes y la frecuencia de uso de las tabletas y aplicaciones con la función de presentar o acceder a información.
