This study evaluated the contributions of rural residence, alcohol use, and pedestrian fatalities to the high American Indian motor-vehicle crash mortality rate in Arizona.
Records from the Fatal Accident Reporting System were used to examine mortality rates between 1979 and 1988.
American Indians had increased relative risks in all motor-vehicle crash categories in all residence-gender groups. The percentage of excess mortality associated with alcohol varied from 36.8% to 66.7%, and the percentage associated with pedestrian deaths ranged from 27.2% to 55.4%.
Efforts to reduce excess motor-vehicle crash mortality among American Indians should concentrate on preventing pedestrian and alcohol-related fatalities.
本研究评估了居住在农村、饮酒及行人死亡对亚利桑那州美国印第安人机动车碰撞死亡率居高不下所产生的影响。
利用致命事故报告系统的记录来研究1979年至1988年期间的死亡率。
在所有居住地区-性别组中,美国印第安人在各类机动车碰撞事故中的相对风险均有所增加。与酒精相关的超额死亡率百分比在36.8%至66.7%之间,与行人死亡相关的百分比在27.2%至55.4%之间。
降低美国印第安人机动车碰撞超额死亡率的努力应集中在预防与行人及酒精相关的死亡事故上。
