摘要: |
Pedestrians who had been drinking make up about half of all U.S. adult (ages 15+) pedestrian/motor vehicle crash fatalities. About one-third of adult pedestrian fatalities are at BACs of .15% or higher. The present study examined regional differences across the U.S. in these fatalities, and whether specific racial or ethnic groups, by age and gender, are over-represented. Data from the U.S.D.O.T. Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) were linked with the Multiple Cause of Death file, Centers for Disease Control, and with additional ethnic and racial data provided by seven states. Analysis identified three groups with proportionally greater pedestrian-alcohol fatality risk: Native Americans; older black adults; and Hispanic males. Focus groups discussed the unique problems and cultural sensitivities of each identified group. For the covering abstract see ITRD E106992. |
