Twenty years ago the American Medical Association reported the relationship between blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and crash causation. This study addresses culpability, age, gender and BAC in a population of drivers injured in motor vehicle crashes. Five years of hospital and crash data were linked, using probabilistic techniques. Trends in culpability were analyzed by BAC category. Given BAC level, the youngest and oldest drivers were more likely to have caused their crash. Women drivers had significantly higher odds of culpability at the highest BAC levels. Seatbelt use was also associated with culpability, perhaps as a marker for risk-taking among drinkers.
二十年前,美国医学协会报告了血液酒精浓度(BAC)与撞车因果关系。本研究探讨了机动车撞车事故中受伤驾驶员群体的罪责、年龄、性别和血液酒精浓度。利用概率技术将五年的医院和撞车数据进行了关联。按血液酒精浓度类别分析了罪责趋势。在给定血液酒精浓度水平的情况下,最年轻和最年长的驾驶员造成撞车事故的可能性更大。在最高血液酒精浓度水平时,女性驾驶员的罪责几率显著更高。系安全带也与罪责有关,这或许是饮酒者冒险行为的一个标志。
