The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and behavioral and psychosocial correlates of road traffic injuries (RTIs) among Chinese university students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among fifty universities in China, using a multi-stage sampling methodology. The participants were asked to report their RTIs in the past year. The chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis were utilized to identify factors associated with RTIs, including specific types of RTIs. Among the 11,770 participants, a total of 1,482 university students reported at least one RTI yielding an overall weighted injury prevalence of 12.96% over the past year. Estimated weighted prevalence by type was 6.10%, 5.94%, 5.12%, and 5.35% for automobile (car, truck, or bus), bicycle, motorcycle, and pedestrian injuries, respectively. Logistic regression analysis found that students who studied at low-level universities, smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol, slept less than 7 hours, went to bed after 12:00 am, or students with psychological distress were more likely to experience overall and four types of RTIs. Students who studied in the eastern universities had a higher likelihood of automobile injury, motorcycle injury and pedestrian injury than those who studied in western universities. Several critical factors associated with RTIs were identified. These findings have implications for the design and implementation of RTI prevention and interventions programs targeted at university students.
本研究旨在调查中国大学生道路交通伤害（RTI）的发生率和行为及心理社会相关因素。采用多阶段抽样方法在中国 50 所大学进行了横断面调查。要求参与者报告他们过去一年中的 RTI。采用卡方检验和二项逻辑回归分析确定与 RTI 相关的因素，包括特定类型的 RTI。在 11770 名参与者中，共有 1482 名大学生报告至少发生过一次 RTI，过去一年的总加权伤害发生率为 12.96%。按类型估计的加权患病率分别为汽车（汽车、卡车或公共汽车）、自行车、摩托车和行人伤害的 6.10%、5.94%、5.12%和 5.35%。逻辑回归分析发现，就读于低水平大学、吸烟、饮酒、睡眠不足 7 小时、在 12:00 以后上床睡觉或有心理困扰的学生更有可能经历整体和四种类型的 RTI。在东部大学学习的学生发生汽车伤害、摩托车伤害和行人伤害的可能性高于在西部大学学习的学生。确定了与 RTI 相关的几个关键因素。这些发现对设计和实施针对大学生的 RTI 预防和干预计划具有重要意义。
