Risk for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) may be higher in U.S. and Mexico border cities as compared to nonborder cities in each country. We examine rates and correlates of self-reported DUI arrests or stops on both sides of the border, drawing on a large-scale survey of 4,796 Mexicans and Mexican Americans in border and nonborder cities of Texas and two states in Mexico. Findings varied by site and country and did not consistently show higher rates on the border. DUI prevention efforts should consider the heterogeneity of local conditions and needs.
与美国和墨西哥各自的非边境城市相比,在美墨边境城市因酒精影响而导致驾驶的风险可能更高。我们利用对德克萨斯州边境和非边境城市以及墨西哥两个州的4796名墨西哥人和墨西哥裔美国人进行的大规模调查,研究了边境两侧自我报告的酒驾被捕或被拦截的比率及相关因素。结果因地点和国家而异,并未始终显示边境地区的比率更高。酒驾预防工作应考虑当地情况和需求的异质性。
