The relative risk of involvement in fatal crashes as a function of race/ethnicity and blood alcohol concentration.

摘要: Abstract Introduction The literature presents a puzzling picture of Latinos being overrepresented in alcohol-related crashes, but not noncrash drinking and driving. This report examines if, like other demographic variables which some groups are at higher crash risk than others (e.g., young drivers), different racial/ethnic face risks. Method study compares blood-alcohol information from the 2006–2007 U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) with control data 2007 National Roadside Survey. Logistic regression, including dual interaction between BAC race/ethnicity, was used to estimate levels. Results It found that, although Hispanic African-American drivers were less likely be involved single-vehicle crashes their White counterparts, all similar relative regardless group membership. overrepresentation Latino could explained by differences patterns consumption, driving exposure, lack awareness rules, and/or socioeconomics.
