The purpose of this study was to examine the association between prescription drug misuse and risky motor vehicle behaviors among 16-24-year-old women.
A survey was conducted on misuse of 4 classes of prescription drugs (pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives) and past-month risky motor vehicle behaviors among these women during 2008-2010.
Overall, 47.7% (1408/2952) of women reported risky motor vehicle behavior(s) in the past month. Misuse of 1 or more of the 4 classes was 30.1% (lifetime), 15.0% (past year), and 6.7% (past month). Misuse of 1 or more of these prescription drug classes was associated with risky motor vehicle behaviors in their lifetime (odds ratio [OR]: 1.83, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.54-2.18), past year (OR: 2.25, 95% CI: 1.80-2.83), and past month (OR: 2.70, 95% CI: 1.94-3.78).
The current finding that misuse of 1 or more of the 4 prescription drug classes, irrespective of when this last occurred, is associated with risky motor vehicle behaviors may help formulate awareness programs.
本研究旨在考察 16-24 岁女性中处方药物滥用与危险机动车行为之间的关联。
2008-2010 年期间,对这些女性中四类处方药物(止痛药、镇静剂、兴奋剂和镇静剂)的误用和过去一个月内的危险机动车行为进行了调查。
总体而言,47.7%(1408/2952)的女性报告在过去一个月内有危险的机动车行为。四类药物中有一类或多类药物的滥用率为 30.1%(终身)、15.0%(过去一年)和 6.7%(过去一个月)。这些处方药物类别的一种或多种药物的滥用与终身(优势比 [OR]:1.83,95%置信区间 [CI]:1.54-2.18)、过去一年(OR:2.25,95% CI:1.80-2.83)和过去一个月(OR:2.70,95% CI:1.94-3.78)的危险机动车行为有关。
目前的发现表明,无论何时发生过一种或多种处方药物的滥用,都与危险的机动车行为有关,这可能有助于制定意识计划。
