The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of calling, texting, and searching for information while riding a motorcycle among university students and the influences of sociodemographic characteristics, social norms, and risk perceptions on these behaviors.
Students at 2 university campuses in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the 2 largest cities in Vietnam, were invited to participate in an anonymous online survey. Data collection was conducted during March and May 2016.
There were 741 respondents, of whom nearly 90% of students (665) were motorcycle riders. Overall prevalence of mobile phone use while riding is 80.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 77.9-83.9%) with calling having a higher level of prevalence than texting or searching for information while riding: 74% (95% CI, 70.7-77.3%) vs. 51.7% (95% CI, 47.9-55.5%) and 49.9% (95% CI, 46.1-53.7%), respectively. Random parameter ordered probit modeling results indicate that mobile phone use while riding is associated with gender, motorcycle license duration, perceived crash risk, perceived risk of mobile phone snatching, and perceptions of friends' mobile phone use while riding.
Mobile phone use while riding a motorcycle is highly prevalent among university students. Educational programs should focus on the crash and economic risk of all types of mobile phone use while riding, including calling, texting, and searching for information. In addition, they should consider targeting the influence of social norms and peers on mobile phone use while riding.
本研究旨在调查大学生骑摩托车时打电话、发短信和搜索信息的行为发生率，以及社会人口学特征、社会规范和风险认知对这些行为的影响。
邀请越南最大的两个城市河内和胡志明市的两所大学校园的学生参与一项匿名在线调查。数据收集于2016年3月至5月进行。
共有741名受访者，其中近90%的学生（665名）是摩托车骑手。骑摩托车时使用手机的总体发生率为80.9%（95%置信区间[CI]，77.9 - 83.9%），骑摩托车时打电话的发生率高于发短信或搜索信息：分别为74%（95% CI，70.7 - 77.3%）、51.7%（95% CI，47.9 - 55.5%）和49.9%（95% CI，46.1 - 53.7%）。随机参数有序概率模型结果表明，骑摩托车时使用手机与性别、摩托车驾照持有时长、感知碰撞风险、感知手机被抢风险以及对朋友骑摩托车时使用手机的认知有关。
大学生骑摩托车时使用手机的情况非常普遍。教育项目应关注骑摩托车时各类手机使用行为的碰撞风险和经济风险，包括打电话、发短信和搜索信息。此外，还应考虑针对社会规范和同伴对骑摩托车时使用手机行为的影响。
