In China, the role that alcohol plays in road traffic deaths (RTDs) is poorly understood. In this study, RTD rates caused by at-fault drivers and drinking-driving by cases per 100,000 people were calculated at the city and provincial levels in China during 2017-2020. Spatial lag modeling was applied to measure the influence of drinking-driving RTD rates on at-fault RTD rates. In addition, the influence of seven geographic regions, six city tiers, three ethnicities, and six socioeconomic factors on drinking-driving and at-fault RTD rates was assessed. Drinking-driving RTD rates were positively associated with at-fault RTD rates. GDP per capita was negatively associated with drinking-driving RTD rates, but unemployment rates were positively associated. This study highlights the influence of drinking-driving on overall at-fault behavior. The reinforcement of traffic regulations against drinking-driving and general awareness could reduce RTD rates.
在中国，人们对酒精在道路交通事故死亡（RTD）中的作用了解甚少。在这项研究中，我们计算了 2017-2020 年中国城市和省级层面因过错司机导致的 RTD 率和每 10 万人中因酒后驾车导致的 RTD 率。我们应用空间滞后模型来衡量酒后驾车 RTD 率对过错 RTD 率的影响。此外，我们还评估了七个地理区域、六个城市级别、三个民族和六个社会经济因素对酒后驾车和过错 RTD 率的影响。酒后驾车 RTD 率与过错 RTD 率呈正相关。人均 GDP 与酒后驾车 RTD 率呈负相关，但失业率与酒后驾车 RTD 率呈正相关。本研究强调了酒后驾车对整体过错行为的影响。加强对酒后驾车的交通法规和一般意识的宣传教育可以降低 RTD 率。
