“…The prevalence of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUIA) among the overall US population decreased from 12.1% in 2016 to 10.7% in 2020 1 . Despite these decreasing trends, however, DUIA remains an ongoing public health concern in the US.…”

Objectives. Alcohol use disorder (AUD) and depression are the most commonly reported psychiatric comorbid conditions. We examined trends in the past-year prevalence of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUIA) among people with major depressive episodes (MDE), AUD, or both in the United States. Methods. We analyzed 543,573 individuals aged 18 years or older from the 2005-2019 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). Multivariate logistic regression models were applied to examine the adjusted past-year prevalence of DUIA. To assess trends in DUIA over time, annual average percent change (AAPC) was calculated. Results. From 2005 to 2019, DUIA prevalence among US adults with MDE declined significantly from 18.1% to 9.4% (AAPC = -4.9). Decreasing trends in DUIA were also observed among those with AUD (from 55.4% to 37.8%, AAPC = -3.0) and among those with co-occurring MDE and AUD (from 58.3% to 38.8%, AAPC = -3.1). Compared to those with no AUD or MDE (from 8.42% to 3.99%, AAPC = -5.6), individuals with AUD and those with co-occurring MDE and AUD had significantly lower AAPCs. There was no significant AAPC difference between those with MDE and those with no AUD or MDE. Regarding sociodemographic characteristics, younger adults aged 18-34 exhibited the lowest AAPC among all diagnostic groups. Conclusions. From 2005 to 2019, DUIA prevalence declined significantly with varying rates of decrease across different diagnostic groups. Focused public health efforts are needed to engage high-risk groups that have shown a tendency toward less expedient reductions in DUIA.

“…48.7% of accidents that lead to deaths in Iran are caused by motor vehicles (4 wheels) and 24.1% by motor vehicles (2 wheels) (Margie Peden 2004). Driving under the in uence of alcohol in people over 65 years of age is getting attention (Myers et al 2023). The mean age of accidental injuries in the group of users (46 years) is much smaller than that of those who did not use drugs (54 years) (Alvarez-Freire et al 2023).…”

Objective The use of psychoactive substances increases the risk of accidents. This study evaluated the relationship between the type of psychoactive substances among traffic injured admitted to the medical center. Methods Injured drivers (100 used drugs), (260 control group), who were transferred to 7-Tir Hospital from April 2021 to March 2022 were studied. The information related to the accident scene, personal characteristics, and the substance used was collected from the police and the medical center documents. We used multiple logistic regression to find the important factor in outcomes. Results The mean age of the case group (37.49 ± 13.61) compared to the control group (34.18 ± 14.05) was significant (p = 0.044). The most common substances in the case group were opioids which had the highest mean age (41.90 ± 13.541). Injured who used sedatives had higher signs of head trauma than the others. Also, being guilty had a remarkable difference in the groups (94.6 vs 62.4 p = < 0.001). Motorcyclist drivers were 185(65%) responsible for the accident, in addition, 69(69%) were in the case group. Head trauma, type of accident, and level of triage had a significant effect on the death of the injured. Conclusion Using sedatives causes increased head trauma. Driving under the effect of psychoactive drugs is more common among motorcycle drivers, and a large percentage of them are guilty of accidents.
