“…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.…”

“…A growing number of studies have examined predictors of teenage DWI and RWI. The most consistent predictor of DWI in studies with adolescent samples, as well as young adult and adult samples, is problem drinking, including heavy alcohol use and drinking-related problems (LaBrie et al, 2011;Li et al, 2013;Sabel et al, 2004;Shope et al, 2003;Shults et al, 2009;Tomas Dols et al, 2010;Zakrajsek and Shope, 2006).…”

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...

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Motor vehicle crashes, heavy drinking, and drug use are serious, interactive health concerns for the teenage population. Teenage alcohol-impaired driving behaviors are associated with heavy drinking, parenting practices, and exposure to drinking and driving.WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Earliness of exposure to alcohol/drug impaired driving (DWI) and early licensure were independent risk factors for teenage DWI. A strong, positive dose-response existed between DWI and amount of prior exposure to DWI in the form of riding with an impaired driver. abstract OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between driving while alcohol/ drug impaired (DWI) and the timing and amount of exposure to others' alcohol/drug-impaired driving (riding while impaired [RWI]) and driving licensure timing among teenage drivers. METHODS:The data were from waves 1, 2, and 3 (W1, W2, and W3, respectively) of the NEXT Generation Study, with longitudinal assessment of a nationally representative sample of 10th graders starting in 2009-2010. Multivariate logistic regression was used for the analyses.RESULTS: Teenagers exposed to RWI at W1 (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 21.12, P , .001), W2 (AOR = 19.97, P , .001), and W3 (AOR = 30.52, P , .001) were substantially more likely to DWI compared with those reporting never RWI. Those who reported RWI at 1 wave (AOR = 10.89, P , .001), 2 waves (AOR = 34.34, P , .001), and all 3 waves (AOR = 127.43, P , .001) were more likely to DWI compared with those who never RWI. Teenagers who reported driving licensure at W1 were more likely to DWI compared with those who were licensed at W3 (AOR = 1.83, P , .05). CONCLUSIONS:The experience of riding in a vehicle with an impaired driver increased the likelihood of future DWI among teenagers after licensure. There was a strong, positive dose-response association between RWI and DWI. Early licensure was an independent risk factor for DWI. The findings suggest that RWI and early licensure could be important prevention targets. Pediatrics 2014;133:620-626

“…Drivers and passengers also tend to share similar drinking and driving behaviors (e.g., Shults, Kresnow, & Lee, 2009; Lee & Abdel-Aty, 2008; Schermer, Apodaca, Albrecht, Lu, & Demarest, 2001; Yu & Shacket, 1999; Dellinger, Bolen, & Sacks, 1999; Finken, Jacobs, & Laguna, 1998; Soderstrom et al, 1996, Isaac, Kennedy, & Graham, 1995). Although drivers and passengers tend to share a drinking association, they are not homogeneous or identical in their risk perception and/or risk taking (Dillon & Dunn, 2005; Yu & Shacket, 1999).…”

Introduction The aims of this study are (a) to estimate the prevalence of passengers riding with alcohol-impaired drivers; (b) to investigate the role of demographic factors (age, gender, race/ethnicity, educational status) and relevant driving conditions (time of the day, trip origin, vehicle ownership) on shaping the likelihood of alcohol-impaired driving; (c) to identify and estimate the prevalence of passengers as alternative drivers (PADs); and (d) to examine the role that vehicle ownership plays in shaping the occurrence of PADs. Method Data came from a unique convenience sample of passengers obtained from the 2007 National Roadside Survey, a random sample of drivers from the 48 contiguous states. Results The prevalence of PADs in the targeted population (mostly weekend night vehicles) was higher with drivers at .00
