“…These fi ndings support our hypothesis that teenage substance use, particularly heavy episodic drinking, is a prospective predictor of DWI and RWI, which has previously been found in cross-sectional research (LaBrie et al, 2011;Li et al, 2013;Shope et al, 2003;Shults et al, 2009). To extend prior research on the relationship between parenting practices and risky driving (Bingham et al, 2004;Hartos et al, 2000Hartos et al, , 2002Shope et al, 2001), the current study also explored the longitudinal association between parenting practices and DWI/RWI. The results indicate the importance of father's monitoring knowledge in protecting against the risk of DWI (but not RWI) among adolescents.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the extent to which 10th-grade substance use and parenting practices predicted 11th-grade teenage driving while alcohol-/other drug-impaired (DWI) and riding with alcohol-/other drug-impaired drivers (RWI). Method: The data were from Waves 1 and 2 of the NEXT Generation study, with longitudinal assessment of a nationally representative sample of 10th graders starting in [2009][2010]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the prospective associations between proposed predictors (heavy episodic drinking, illicit drug use, parental monitoring knowledge and control) in Wave 1 and DWI/RWI. Results: Heavy episodic drinking at Wave 1 predicted Wave 2 DWI (odds ratio [OR] = 3.73, p < .001) and RWI (OR = 3.92, p < .001) after controlling for parenting practices and selected covariates. Father's monitoring knowledge predicted lower DWI prevalence at Wave 2 when controlling for covariates and teenage substance use (OR = 0.66, p < .001). In contrast, mother's monitoring knowledge predicted lower RWI prevalence at Wave 2 when controlling for covariates only (OR = 0.67, p < .05), but the effect was reduced to nonsignifi cance when controlling for teen substance use. Conclusions: Heavy episodic drinking predicted DWI and RWI. In addition, parental monitoring knowledge, particularly by fathers, was protective against DWI, independent of the effect of substance use. This suggests that the enhancement of parenting practices could potentially discourage adolescent DWI. The fi ndings suggest that the parenting practices of fathers and mothers may have differential effects on adolescent impaired-driving behaviors. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 75, 5-15, 2014) Safety, 2010). Around the same time adolescents begin driving, the prevalence of substance use increases in this population (CDC, 2012), potentially increasing crash risk. Alcohol-/other drug-related crash riskA substantial body of research (Elvik, 2013;Li et al., 2012) has established that an elevated crash risk results at all ages from impaired driving caused by alcohol (Blomberg et al., 2009), other drugs (Elvik, 2013Li et al., 2012), or alcohol and other drugs used in combination (Kuypers et al., 2012). For example, drivers younger than 21 with a positive blood alcohol concentration experienced twice the crash risk of those ages 25 and older (Peck et al., 2008). Novice teen drivers have especially high crash rates because of inexperience, contributing to the disproportionate effect on this population of driving while impaired by alcohol and/or other drugs (DWI; Peck et al., 2008;Voas et al., 2012).Current national prevalence estimates of teenage drinking and driving in the past month among 11th-grade students range from 9.1% (CDC, 2012) to 12.5% (Li et al., 2013), and two national studies found that 24% of high school students report riding with an impaired driver (RWI) in the past month (CDC, 2012) or in the past year (Li et al., 2013). The National Roadside Survey conducted for the N...

“…Young adult problem driving is a problem behavior that shows continuity from adolescence into young adulthood and has been predicted by adolescent problem behavior [4,5,9,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Although high-risk driving has been predicted by various adolescent problem behaviors and psychosocial characteristics [4,5,16], the association between traffic offense rates in the first years of licensure and psychosocial and non-driving problem behaviors has not been studied. Traffic offense patterns that are socially prescribed include low offense rates from licensure forward, and decreasing offense rates [23][24][25].…”

Problem behaviors that are associated with high-risk driving include cigarette smoking, smokeless tobacco use, alcohol use, binge drinking, marijuana use [21], riding with drinking drivers [22], drink-driving, and elevated offense and crash rates [4][5][6][7]16,18].…”

“…Based on PBT, it was hypothesized that weaker social-environmental controls (i.e., less parental monitoring, more parental permissiveness), poorer psychosocial adjustment (i.e., more tolerance of deviance, more peer vs. parent-orientedness, and lower marks in school), and more problem behavior (cigarette smoking, alcohol misuse, and marijuana use) would predict higher offense rates. Based on prior research, gender moderation effects were also tested [18,22,26,27]. …”

Purpose-This article examines adolescent psychosocial and problem behavior characteristics as predictors of traffic offenses from licensure to early young adulthood.Methods-Data for this study were from a school-based sample that was surveyed in 10th and 12th grades, and again in early young adulthood. In addition, state driver history records were obtained for each participant in the study and provided a complete traffic offense history.Results-Models adjusted for driving exposure showed varying patterns of prediction for men and women across three types of ticketed moving violations (offenses): minor offenses, serious offenses, and alcohol offenses. Although which predictors were significant varied across gender and type of offense, results suggested that more positive psychosocial adjustment predicted lower numbers, greater decreases, and a lower likelihood of increases in offenses from licensure through the early 20s.Conclusions-Based on this research, implications for intervention include providing parents with the tools and knowledge needed to effectively supervise their teens' driving during the first years of licensure. Also potentially important for their broad positive effects on problem behaviors, including problem driving, are programs that strengthen adolescents' bonds to conventional social institutions and increase their attachment to the people who represent those institutions. Future research should examine the longitudinal sequencing of associations among psychosocial and problem behavior variables, including problem driving. © 2006 Society for Adolescent Medicine.

KeywordsTeen drivers; Traffic offenses; Gender differences; High-risk driving; Problem behavior; Problem driving Drivers aged 15-20 years have higher rates of motor vehicle crashes (crashes) than adults, and crashes are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in this age group. In 2003, 15-20-year-olds accounted for 6.8% (12.5 million) of all drivers in the United States, but were drivers in 18% of all police-reported crashes and 14% of all fatal crashes, resulting in 3657 deaths and 308,000 non-fatal injuries [1]. A greater understanding of factors contributing to crashes is essential to increased driving safety among teens; however, the relative infrequency of crashes makes them difficult to study, and the information obtained from studying crashes, although important, does not directly address events and behaviors that precede and contribute to crashes. Many of these events and behaviors are ticketable traffic offenses. Although recorded offenses are a sub-sample of all traffic offenses committed, official traffic offenses are one of Relatively few longitudinal studies have examined offense patterns and their developmental precursors. Some evidence exists of a longitudinal association between problem behaviors and problem driving practices [4]. Using a developmental theoretical perspective, this study identified psychosocial and problem behavior predictors of offenses that occurred between licensu...

“…16 These factors describe many of the characteristics found in incarcerated adolescents, and it is therefore important to target interventions to this population in order to reduce DUI. Rates of alcohol and marijuana use disorder among detainees are approximately 26.1% and 43.3%, respectively, and similarly, these adolescents show relatively high rates of depression or dysthymia (29.6%).…”

Motivational Interviewing (MI) to reduce alcohol and marijuana-related driving events among incarcerated adolescents was evaluated. Adolescents were randomly assigned to receive MI or Relaxation Training. Follow-up assessment showed that, as compared to RT, adolescents who received MI had lower rates of drinking and driving, and being a passenger in a car with someone who had been drinking. Effects were moderated by levels of depression. At low levels of depression, MI evidenced lower rates of these behaviors; at high levels of depression, effects for MI and RT were equivalent. Similar patterns were found for marijuana-related risky driving, but effects were nonsignificant.
