“…But they also find evidence that receiving treatment for drug addiction or alcohol abuse considerably reduces the probability of causing an accident. Vingilis and Wilk (2008) show that driving under the influence of alcohol increases the probability of collisions among younger drivers, while Neyens and Ng Boyle (2007) show that different driver distractions (cognitive, cell phone use and so on) are related to specific crash types. Renner and Anderle (2000) find a relationship between certain characteristics of personality (like extraversion or impulsiveness) and incurring traffic violations in a sample of young drivers.…”

“…RTI are not coincidental, but they adhere to foreseeable factors. Medication and chronic conditions, despite not being the main implicated factors, are related to some cases [ 3 - 5 ]. Usually, when we talk about implicated factors in RTI, four groups can be considered: human factors, aspects related to the vehicle, aspects related to the collision environment (traffic, lane, etc) and socio-economic aspects [ 6 , 7 ].…”

BackgroundLiterature shows that not only are traffic injuries due to accidents, but that there is also a correlation between different chronic conditions, the consumption of certain types of drugs, the intake of psychoactive substances and the self perception of risk (Health Belief Model) and the impact/incidence of traffic accidents. There are few studies on these aspects in primary health care.The objectives of our study are:Main aim: To outline the distribution of risk factors associated with Road Traffic Injuries (RTI) in a driving population assigned to a group of primary health care centres in Barcelona province.Secondly, we aim to study the distribution of diverse risk factors related to the possibility of suffering an RTI according to age, sex and population groups, to assess the relationship between these same risk factors and self risk perception for suffering an RTI, and to outline the association between the number of risk factors and the history of reported collisions.Methods/DesignDesign: Cross-sectional, multicentre study.Setting: 25 urban health care centres.Study population: Randomly selected sample of Spanish/Catalan speakers age 16 or above with a medical register in any of the 25 participating primary health care centres. N = 1540.Unit of study: Basic unit of care, consisting of a general practitioner and a nurse, both of whom caring for the same population (1,500 to 2,000 people per unit).Instruments of measurement: Data collection will be performed using a survey carried out by health professionals, who will use the clinical registers and the information reported by the patient during the visit to collect the baseline data: illnesses, medication intake, alcohol and psychoactive consumption, and self perception of risk.DiscussionWe expect to obtain a risk profile of the subjects in relation to RTI in the primary health care field, and to create a group for a prospective follow-up.Trial RegistrationClinical Trials.gov Identifier: NCT00778440.

“…Internalizing disorders have been associated with negative driving outcomes including increased collision and injury risk in general population samples (Mann et al 2010;Vingilis and Wilk 2008). However, limited research is available on internalizing disorders, ADHD and negative driving outcomes and show contradictory findings (Barkley et al 2002;Fried et al 2006).…”
