“…In this study of the impact of pictogram drugs and other risk factors on serious vs nonserious accidents, and on the responsibility of drivers in serious accidents, as judged by the police, we found that serious accidents were more common in men, in motorcycle drivers, 41 on country roads, in subjects having ingested alcohol within 6 hours of the accident and in subjects having used at least 1 pictogram drug within 24 hours of the accident. In serious accidents with a police report, responsibility for the accident was more common in younger persons, in poor weather, and when at least 1 pictogram drug was used during the previous week.…”

“…The association of accidents, alcohol ingestion and motorcycle driving has already been noted. 41 By contrast, higher BAC was associated with nonserious accidents: could persons with high BAC avoid driving cars and prefer bicycles? Or, since not all patients had BAC determination, this might have been more systematic in patients with serious accidents (39%) than in those with nonserious accidents (5.4%) and in the latter case targeted to patients with signs of intoxication (42% of nonserious accidents in whom it was measured had a BAC above 0.8 g/L compared to 27% of those with a serious accident).…”

Aims Pictograms on medicine boxes warn of potential drug‐related driving hazard; we studied their association with serious accidents. Methods Prospective study in emergency departments of the hospitals in Bordeaux and Périgueux (France), of drivers with serious (admitted at least 24 hours) or nonserious vehicular accidents. Minors, passengers, pedestrians or subjects incapable of answering an interview were excluded. Interviews ascertained driver and accident characteristics, use of drugs with or without pictograms, use of alcohol and abuse substances, sleepiness, distractions, and mind wandering at the time of the accident, Results Between 18 October 2016 and 26 December 2018, 1200 of the 6212 drivers admitted to the hospital emergency rooms, 741 nonserious, 459 serious, were interviewed. Serious accidents were associated with male sex (odds ratio 1.89, 95% confidence interval [1.36–2.64]), age above 60 years (3.64 [2.21–6.00]), driving on local roads (3.34 [2.34–4.76]), driving a motorcycle (3.39 [2.29–5.00]), having drunk alcohol within 6 hours (2.89 [1.85–4.51]) and using a drug with a pictogram during the 24 hours previous to the accident (1.57 [1.06–2.32]). From 207 police reports, 101 drivers were not responsible, and 106 were responsible, associated with age below 40 years, driving in overcast or rainy weather (2.62 [1.29–5.33]), on local roads (3.89 [1.90–7.95]), and use of at least 1 pictogram drug in the previous week (3.12 [1.31–7.41]). Conclusion The known risks of alcohol and pictogram drugs, of riding motorcycles and using local roads were confirmed. As measured, behavioural sleepiness did not predict accidents.

“…This is significantly higher than the present findings. In similar works of similar research at a global scale, the prevalence of alcohol, marijuana and drug abuse was reported to be between 11 and 38.7% (18, [23][24][25][26][27]. Some other research about American high school students in 2016 found the rate of alcohol and marijuana consumption 23.33 and 13.18%, respectively (28).…”

Introduction: Adolescents are the most vulnerable population in society to high-risk behaviors. It is essential to explore male adolescents’ state of health so as to establish this health well. The present research aimed to explore the prevalence of high-risk behaviors among male adolescents in the south of Iran. Methods: The present cross-sectional research employed a random multi-stratified sampling method to select subjects from male students of secondary schools (2nd grade) in Bushehr in 2017. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire comprised of two parts. The first part explored background information and the second monitored adolescents’ high-risk behaviors. Once the reliability and validity of the questionnaire were confirmed, the collected data were analyzed in SPSS20 using ANOVA test and Tukey post-hoc test. Results: The majority of subjects belonged to the 16 year-old age group. The highest frequency of high-risk behaviors in male adolescents involved physical contact and struggle out of school (22.81%), hookah consumption within a month (19.62%), physical contact and struggle at school within a year (18.30%) and smoking cigarettes out of school in a month (11.14%). Conclusion: The prevalence of high-risk behaviors among male adolescents was for physical contact out of school in a year, hookah consumption in a month and physical contact at school in a year. It is suggested to conduct qualitative research to recognize why adolescents show tendency to risky behaviors and to reduce such behaviors.
