“…15,21,22 Fewer studies have examined the prevalence of riding with an alcohol-impaired driver among rural adolescents, but these studies reveal alarmingly high rates beyond those in urban adolescents (ie, 27%-45.3%). [23][24][25] These potential rural-urban differences in driving/riding with someone under the influence are consistent with the fact that fatal crashes involving alcohol-impaired drivers are more common in rural than urban areas (accounting for 54% of motor vehicle fatalities across age groups). 26 Overall, preliminary research suggests rural adolescents may be at increased risk for driving and/or riding with someone under the influence of alcohol.…”

The Impact of Rurality on Likelihood of Drunk Driving and Riding With a Driver Under the Influence Among High School Students

Our findings suggest that riding with a driver under the influence rather than driving under the influence may be a more pressing public health issue for adolescents in rural areas. Future research focused on the formative work necessary to build novel, culturally tailored interventions should be conducted to minimize the associated substantial burden of motor vehicle deaths within rural adolescents.

“…For example, 29% of high school adolescents nationwide (Eaton et al, 2006) and 45% of students from a rural, southern middle school reported being a passenger in a car with someone who had been drinking alcohol during the past month (Muilenburg, Johnson, Usdan, Annang, & Clayton, 2007). Ten percent of high school students nationwide (Eaton et al, 2006) and 17% of rural, southern middle school students had driven a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol (Muilenburg et al, 2007). …”

Few measures exist to assess risky behaviors and consequences as they relate to substance use in juvenile delinquents. This study sought to validate such a measure on a racially and ethnically diverse sample (N = 175). Results indicate that alcohol-related risky behaviors and consequences comprise a single scale as do marijuana-related risky behaviors and consequences. Furthermore, results suggest that the retention of common items for both scales produces reliable and valid scales and maintains parsimony. Internal consistencies were more than adequate (0.72 -0.83) and test-retest stabilities, even across several months were acceptable (0.52 -0.50). The scales evidenced a high degree of concurrent and predictive incremental validity in predicting conduct disorder, dependence symptoms, and consumption patterns. Researchers can use these scales to measure a generalized construct tapping risks and consequences as related to alcohol and marijuana use. Ease of use may make these scales appealing to clinicians who can provide feedback to clients regarding risky behaviors involving alcohol and marijuana.

Predicting Alcohol-Impaired Driving among Spanish Youth with the Theory of Reasoned Action

et al. 2015

Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for motor vehicle accidents in young drivers. Crashes associated with alcohol consumption typically have greater severity. This study examines the prevalence of driving under the influence among Spanish youth and tests the theory of reasoned action as a model for predicting driving under the influence. Participants included 478 Spanish university students aged 17-26 years. Findings indicated that alcohol was the substance most associated with impaired driving, and was involved in more traffic crashes. Men engage in higher levels of alcohol and other drug use, and perceived less risk in drunk driving (p < .01). The study confirms that alcohol use and driving under the influence of alcohol are highly prevalent in Spanish young people, and some gender differences exist in these behaviors (p < .01). Furthermore, the study confirms the validity of theory of reasoned action as a predictive model of driving under the influence of alcohol among youth in Spain (p < .001) and can help in the design of prevention programs.
