Transitions in Riding With an Alcohol/Drug-Impaired Driver From Adolescence to Emerging Adulthood in the United States

In this article, the authors examine individual and social risk and protective factors of riding with an alcohol/drug-impaired driver (RWI). They conduct a longitudinal study of a cohort of U.S. 10th graders through their first post–high school year. Their results include the finding that RWI is more likely among those who have previously reported RWI, substance use, heavy episodic drinking, and those who live on campus. The authors suggest that early identification of RWI and a reduction in substance use/episodic drinking could be an effective harm reduction strategy.
