Aims: To determine whether the implementation of alcohol control policies was associated with changes in the incidence of road traffic deaths. Measures: Aggregated daily counts of road traffic deaths. Restrictive policies were compared with lax policies to estimate the effect of reducing hours of alcohol availability using multiple negative binomial regressions. Findings:There was a decreased risk of road traffic mortality in periods when moderately restrictive policies were in effect (IRR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.72-0.97, p = 0.019). There was an even lower risk of road traffic deaths in periods when most restrictive policies were in effect (IRR = 0.70, 95% CI 0.58-0.85, p < 0.001). In motorcyclists, most restrictive (IRR 0.55, 95% CI 0.38-0.81, p = 0.002) and full restrictive policies (IRR 0.52, 95% CI 0.29-0.94, p = 0.032) were associated with decreased risk of mortality. Conclusions:Our findings support more restrictive alcohol control policies to reduce road traffic mortality. Specifically, reducing the time of alcohol availability was associated with a decrease in road traffic death rates.

“…A couple of studies from Brazil have documented increases in motorcycle injuries at a national level (Chandran, Sousa, Guo, Bishai, & Pechansky, 2012;Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada, 2006) or described motorcycle injuries in more detail in Sao Paulo state (Gawryszewski et al, 2009;Silva, Cardoso, & Santos, 2011). Another study from Cali, Colombia documented increases in motorcycle mortality and estimated changes associated to the implementation of a helmet law (Espitia-Hardeman, V et al, 2008), and one from Jamaica documented associated morbidity and mortality among people seen at a large hospital (Crandon, Harding, Cawich, McDonald, & Fearron-Boothe, 2009). …”

Injuries, disabilities and deaths among motorcyclists have been rising worldwide but what is happening in the American Continent is not completely known. Deaths from motorcycle crashes of the Pan American Health Organization database (PAHO/WHO, 1998-2010) were included in an ecologic multi-national study to quantify the temporal trends and to estimate the association between motorcycle riders' deaths and selected socio-economic indicators. Mortality rates increased in all sub-regions. The highest increase was reported in the countries of the Andean sub-region (Ecuador, 78.3%) and Mesoamerica (Costa Rica, 60.0%). Poorer countries fared worse in terms of motorcycle mortality relative to richer countries, as did more unequal ones. Recent economic changes, rapid increment of motorisation rates, affordability of motorcycles over public transportation, lack of adequate public transportation policies and other insufficient measures aimed at improving safety can explain these trends.

“…These factors include those influencing the occurrence of the crash (speeding, alcohol consumption, and hand-held mobile phones) and injury severity (non-use of crash helmets by two-wheeled vehicle users and non-use of retention devices, such as seat belts and child safety seats) [28–30]. …”

Background: Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a leading cause of premature mortality, mainly in low- and middle-income countries Objective: To estimate the 2014 burden of RTIs in Mexico calculating years of life lost (YLL) and age-standardized YLL rates (ASYLL), and to evaluate sex, age, and region-related differences in premature mortality. Methods: Mortality data were obtained from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography and 14,637 deaths of individuals 15 years of age and older were analyzed. The YLL and ASYLL were computed. Results: The overall burden of RTIs was 332,922 YLL and 82.4% of the deaths occurred in males. Males from 25 to 34 years of age and females from 15 to 24 years of age showed the highest age-adjusted YLL rates (933 and 158 YLL per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively). The national ASYLL rate was 416 per 100,000 inhabitants and the highest state-stratified mortality rates were observed in Tabasco (851), Sinaloa (709), Durango (656), Zacatecas (642), and Baja California Sur (570). Conclusions: RTIs contributed to the premature mortality rate in the study population. Our findings may be useful from a health policy perspective for designing and prioritizing interventions focused on the prevention of premature loss of life.

Abstract: The establishment and implementation of a combination of prevention strategies was more effective than a single or non-articulated strategy.
