Abstract

On the hypothesis that sleepiness and alcohol interact to increase the risk of alcohol-related traffic fatalities, the percentages of alcohol-related fatal traffic crashes were assessed for the entire state of New Mexico for the years 1989-1992, for each of the seven days that preceded the changes to and from Daylight Savings Time and for each of the 14 days which followed the changes to and from Daylight Savings Time. Consistent with our hypothesis the percentage of alcohol-related fatal crashes increased significantly during the first seven days after these changes in Daylight Savings Time.

摘要

基于困倦与酒精相互作用会增加与酒精相关的交通死亡风险这一假设，对新墨西哥州1989 - 1992年全年、夏令时变更前后各七天以及夏令时变更后各十四天内与酒精相关的致命交通事故百分比进行了评估。与我们的假设一致，在夏令时这些变更后的头七天里，与酒精相关的致命撞车事故百分比显著增加。
