Motor vehicle crashes are one of the leading causes of death among teenagers. Many of these deaths are due to preventable causes, including impaired and distracted driving. You Drink, You Drive, You Lose (YDYDYL) is a prevention program to educate high school students about the consequences of impaired and distracted driving. YDYDYL was conducted at a public high school in Southern Nevada in March 2020. A secondary data analysis was conducted to compare knowledge and attitudes of previous participants with first-time participants. Independent-samples-t test and χ2 test/Fisher’s exact test with post-contingency analysis were used to compare pre-event responses between students who had attended the program one year prior and students who had not. Significance was set at p < 0.05. A total of 349 students participated in the survey and were included for analysis; 177 had attended the program previously (50.7%) and 172 had not (49.3%). The mean age of previous participants and first-time participants was 16.2 (SD ± 1.06 years) and 14.9 (SD ± 0.92 years), respectively. Statistically significant differences in several self-reported baseline behaviors and attitudinal responses were found between the two groups; for example, 47.4% of previous participants compared to 29.4% of first-time participants disagreed that reading text messages only at a stop light was acceptable. Students were also asked how likely they were to intervene if a friend or family member was practicing unsafe driving behaviors; responses were similar between the two groups. The baseline behaviors and attitudes of participants regarding impaired and distracted driving were more protective among previous participants compared to first-time participants, suggesting the program results in long-term positive changes in behaviors and attitudes. The results of this secondary retrospective study may be useful for informing the implementation of future impaired and distracted driving prevention programs.
机动车碰撞是青少年死亡的主要原因之一。其中许多死亡是由可预防的原因造成的，包括酒驾和分心驾驶。“你酒驾，你驾驶，你失去（YDYDYL）”是一项预防计划，旨在教育高中生了解酒驾和分心驾驶的后果。YDYDYL于2020年3月在内华达州南部的一所公立高中开展。进行了二次数据分析，以比较之前参与者和首次参与者的知识与态度。使用独立样本t检验和χ2检验/费舍尔精确检验以及事后列联分析来比较一年前参加过该计划的学生和未参加过该计划的学生在活动前的反应。显著性设定为p < 0.05。共有349名学生参与了调查并被纳入分析；177人之前参加过该计划（50.7%），172人未参加过（49.3%）。之前参与者和首次参与者的平均年龄分别为16.2岁（标准差±1.06岁）和14.9岁（标准差±0.92岁）。两组在一些自我报告的基线行为和态度反应上存在统计学显著差异；例如，47.4%的之前参与者不同意仅在停车灯处阅读短信是可以接受的，而首次参与者中这一比例为29.4%。学生们还被问及如果朋友或家人正在进行不安全驾驶行为，他们进行干预的可能性有多大；两组的回答相似。与首次参与者相比，之前参与者在酒驾和分心驾驶方面的基线行为和态度更具保护性，这表明该计划会导致行为和态度的长期积极变化。这项二次回顾性研究的结果可能有助于为未来酒驾和分心驾驶预防计划的实施提供信息。
