To investigate the association among illicit drug use, psychiatric distress and road rage victimization and offending. Particular attention is given to the most serious forms of road rage behaviour.
The data are based on the 2002 CAMH Monitor and include a sample of 2,421 Ontario adults aged 18 and older. Logistic regression analyses were conducted with illicit drug use and psychiatric distress (GHQ) and demographic factors as independent variables.
Past-year road rage victimization was reported by 42% of the sample and 31% reported any type of road rage offending. Approximately 5% were classified as respondents with serious road rage involvement. The logistic regression analyses revealed significant relationships between illicit drug use and road rage outcomes. Cannabis use was significantly associated with general road rage victimization and offending, while stimulant use substantially increased the likelihood of victimization and membership in the serious road rage classification. Psychiatric distress significantly increased the odds of both road rage victimization and serious road rage involvement.
These data reveal different indicators of road rage offending, victimization and serious involvement. Further work is needed to clarify the mechanisms associated with the relationship among stimulant use, psychiatric distress and serious road rage involvement.
调查非法药物使用、精神困扰与路怒受害及犯罪之间的关联。特别关注最严重形式的路怒行为。
数据基于2002年成瘾与心理健康监测（CAMH Monitor），样本包括2421名18岁及以上的安大略省成年人。以非法药物使用、精神困扰（一般健康问卷，GHQ）和人口统计学因素作为自变量进行逻辑回归分析。
42%的样本报告过去一年遭受过路怒侵害，31%报告有任何类型的路怒犯罪行为。约5%被归类为严重卷入路怒的受访者。逻辑回归分析显示非法药物使用与路怒结果之间存在显著关系。使用大麻与一般路怒侵害和犯罪行为显著相关，而使用兴奋剂则大幅增加了成为路怒受害者以及被归类为严重卷入路怒的可能性。精神困扰显著增加了路怒受害和严重卷入路怒的几率。
这些数据揭示了路怒犯罪、受害和严重卷入的不同指标。需要进一步开展工作以阐明与兴奋剂使用、精神困扰和严重卷入路怒之间关系相关的机制。
