“…Examples of such individual factors are gender, personality and emotional state. Thus, men are shown to be less safety oriented than women (Laapotti et al, 2003), personality traits such as sensation seeking (Jonah, 1997), and being in an aggressive mood have been shown to be related to risk-taking behaviour while driving (Arnett et al, 1997).…”

“…Research shows that women are safer drivers than men. [29][30][31][32][33][34] Indeed, licensed female drivers are less likely to speed, drive while intoxicated, and crash than their male counterparts. [34][35][36][37] However, recent data that show an increasing participation of women in alcoholrelated crashes have motivated traffic safety experts to contemplate the need for a revision of extant paradigms.…”

Emergency physicians are confronted daily with the care of traumatically injured patients. A considerable proportion of blunt trauma cases are due to motor vehicle crashes. While men have historically been overrepresented in crash-related injuries and deaths, unfavorable trends for women in alcohol-impaired driving crashes have emerged. This extended commentary with in-depth review presents an examination of the evolving role of sex and gender in alcohol-impaired driving and its outcomes.

“…Diferentes factores se han relacionado con esta alta siniestralidad: actitudes más negativas hacia las normas de circulación y la conducción segura, inexperiencia o características propias de la juventud -desinhibición, forzar límites, desprecio de normas,…- (Foss y Goodwin, 2014;Laapotti, Keskinen y Rajalin, 2003;Weis et al, 2014). Para intervenir ante la conducta de riesgo que supone combinar alcohol y conducción existe suficiente evidencia de la utilidad de ciertas medidas preventivas (Ditsuwan, Veerman, Bertram y Vos, 2013;Montoro y Mayor, 1997), entre las que se encuentran las informativo/formativas, con las que se busca intervenir sobre el nivel de información acerca de la sustancia y sus efectos, las creencias distorsionadas y las habilidades que facilitan la evitación de esta conducta (Cortés y Giménez, 2004 Otros contenidos también contemplados en las medidas preventivas aluden a la falta de información sobre la normativa que regula el consumo de alcohol de los conductores (Eurobarómetro, 2010;RACC, 2009 continuo desde "nada efectivo/1" hasta "muy efectivo/10".…”

ResumenDriving under the influence of alcohol is a major road safety problem. Added to this there is a progressive homogenization of the new patterns of youth intensive use of alcohol (binge drinking). This implies the need to adapt the content of prevention programs implemented with this population.This paper reviews the determinants involved in this risky behavior, depending on the pattern of consumption (CIA/noCIA) and the driving experience (Learner/Experienced) among college students (n = 340).The results reflect a general lack of knowledge on issues related to both traffic regulations as to aspects of the substance.Drivers with higher intakes also show a lower perception of risk to this behavior.These results provide updated information that allows adjust the interventions in the field of road safety needs of this population.Keywords: Alcohol, Driving, Prevention, Youth.La conducción bajo los efectos del alcohol es uno de los grandes problemas en la Seguridad Vial. A ello se une una progresiva homogeneización de los nuevos patrones de consumo intensivo de alcohol (CIA) juvenil. Este hecho implica la necesidad de adaptar los contenidos de los programas preventivos aplicados con esta población.Este trabajo parte de la revisión de los determinantes más implicados en esta conducta de riesgo, en función del patrón de consumo (CIA/noCIA) y de la experiencia del conductor (Novatos/Experimentados), entre estudiantes universitarios (n=340).Los resultados reflejan una falta de conocimientos generalizada respecto a cuestiones relacionadas tanto con la normativa de tráfico como con aspectos de la sustancia.Los conductores con mayores consumos también muestran una menor percepción de riesgo hacia esta conducta.Estos resultados aportan información actualizada que permite reajustar las intervenciones dentro del campo de la seguridad vial a las necesidades de esta población.
