To determine the drinking and driving habits reported in people aged 21-34 years.
Random digit dialing survey.
Seattle and Spokane, Washington; Portland, Oregon.
917 individuals aged 21-34 years, who had a valid driver's license, who had consumed at least one alcoholic drink in the last year and who lived in Seattle, Spokane or Portland.
Driving after drinking, use of a designated driver and serving as a designated driver.
62% drank alcohol at least weekly, and 31% binged at least once per month in the last year. 21% drove after drinking too much in the last month. Two-thirds of individuals reported being a designated driver at least once in the last year, and in most instances, this had been decided before the group went out for the evening. Over three-quarters of individuals reported that they drank less than they usually do the last time they were a designated driver. When using a designated driver, almost half of the individuals reported drinking more on that occasion than usual, with approximately half of those having at least three more drinks than usual.
These results point to the need for interventions to combat the problem of drunk driving and prevent its associated morbidity and mortality. Rigorous evaluation of the effect of designated driver and safe ride home programs are needed.
确定21至34岁人群报告的酒后驾车习惯。
随机数字拨号调查。
华盛顿州西雅图市和斯波坎市；俄勒冈州波特兰市。
917名年龄在21至34岁之间、拥有有效驾驶执照、在过去一年中至少饮用过一杯酒精饮料且居住在西雅图、斯波坎或波特兰的人。
酒后驾车、使用代驾司机以及担任代驾司机。
62%的人至少每周饮酒一次，31%的人在过去一年中每月至少狂饮一次。21%的人在过去一个月中饮酒过量后驾车。三分之二的人报告在过去一年中至少有一次担任代驾司机，并且在大多数情况下，这是在晚上出门前就决定好的。超过四分之三的人报告说，他们上次担任代驾司机时饮酒量比平时少。当使用代驾司机时，几乎一半的人报告说在那次饮酒量比平时多，其中约一半的人比平时至少多喝三杯。
这些结果表明需要采取干预措施来解决酒后驾车问题，并预防其相关的发病率和死亡率。需要对代驾司机和安全乘车回家计划的效果进行严格评估。
