“…Por otro lado, resultaría interesante estudiar de manera específica el papel modulador del consumo en la percepción, en la línea estudiada por Pino et al (2015) respecto a los accidentes de tráfico.…”

El objetivo de este estudio consiste en caracterizar la percepción del riesgo asociado tanto a sustancias legales (alcohol, tabaco e inhalantes) como ilegales (cannabis, cocaína, heroína, anfetaminas, drogas de diseño, alucinógenos) entre los jóvenes de 18 a 29 años en seis dimensiones (problemas para la salud física, salud psíquica, tráfico, capacidad para realizar tareas, relaciones interpersonales y problemas legales) y, además, si existen diferencias de percepciones en función del sexo. Con un diseño ex post facto de grupo único se han estudiado los perfiles perceptivos de 3819 jóvenes andaluces en las nueve drogas citadas. La percepción de los jóvenes muestra patrones diferentes para cada droga, destacando que existen ciertos sesgos los problemas psíquicos derivados del alcohol, que son vistos como menos peligrosos que los problemas de salud o los efectos sobre la salud del cannabis, que se ven como menos peligrosos que los del tabaco. Con respecto a la variable sexo, las mujeres perciben las drogas estudiadas como más peligrosas, salvo el caso de los inhalantes y ciertas dimensiones específicas de otras drogas, en

“…The same authors also noted differences between the sexes. In the same vein, Pino et al [31] found that perception of the risk alcohol consumption posed regarding traffic accidents was higher than that corresponding to other drugs, and that this greater awareness (despite being associated with consumption) may have been due to campaigns and sanctions to discourage drunk driving. Therefore, there is a gap in research into risk perception that needs to be filled.…”

Given that risk perception has been found to be both a vulnerability and a protective factor with respect to consumption, the objectives of this study were to find out whether there exist specific patterns of risk perception associated with cannabis use and, if so, how they relate to cannabis consumption and to the sources of information on drugs accessed by young people. An ex post facto study was carried out with 1851 young Andalusians aged 18 to 29, using an adaptation of the Andalusian Government “Andalusian Population versus Drugs” survey. For the first objective, a cluster analysis was carried out in which three perceptual style groups were formed: “Strict”, “Permissive-Awareness” and “Lax”. Cannabis use in the “lax” group was found to be 14.31 times more frequent than in the “strict” group and 2.75 times more frequent than in the “permissive-awareness” group. A logistic regression analysis was also performed, which correctly predicted 80.4% of users and non-consumers. Correlation was found between perceptual styles and the sources of information used about drugs. This study identified three different risk perception styles that heavily correlated to cannabis consumption and to the type of sources young Andalusians use to obtain information about drugs, suggesting the need for a change in preventive policy.

“…Driving under influence, accounting for 1.7% of ESRAs, was a significant factor in non-western region subgroup analysis. In United States, Japan, Germany, and Spain, drunk driving accounted for 31%, 7.2%,7.8%, and 25% in all fatal crashes in 2014, respectively [ 3 , 41 ]. Obviously, driving under alcohol/drug influence was considered to be a factor of traffic accident because of the temporary physiological changes [ 18 ].…”

BackgroundIn the past decades, extremely serious road accidents with a death toll over ten in each have become a severe public health problem in China. This study investigates risk factors contributing to extremely serious road accidents, which will be crucial for accident prevention.MethodsCollecting data from The Road Accident Statistical Annual Report openly issued by China’s Traffic Management Bureau of the Public Security Ministry for the time period 2004–2015, we used the monthly case number of extreme serious road accidents as the dependent variable. We then selected ten risk factors as primary independent variables: professional driver, driving under influence (alcohol or drug), fatigue, vehicle type, overload, brake problem, weather, road classification, terrain, and region. The method of negative binominal regression was implemented to investigate the association between these risk factors and extremely serious road accidents.ResultsA total of 346 extremely serious road accidents were included in our analysis. On a national scale, we found that professional driver [incidence rate ratio (IRR): 1.10, 95% CI: 1.02–1.19], fatigue (IRR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.03–1.29), large vehicle type (IRR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.03–1.21), overload (IRR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.03–1.16), and terrain (IRR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.01–1.18) were significantly associated with extremely serious road accidents. Besides, separate analyses on western and non-western region indicated that both regions had shared risk factors as well as distinct factors.ConclusionsOur study identifies professional driver, fatigue, large vehicle type, overload, and terrain as significant risk factors of extremely serious road accidents in China, and targeted and preventative measures could be taken based on our findings.
