IDENTIFYING FACTORS THAT PREDICT PERSISTENT DRIVING AFTER DRINKING, UNSAFE DRIVING AFTER DRINKING, AND DRIVING AFTER USING CANNABIS AMONG YOUNG ADULTS

The study examined the health, development, attitudes and behavior of 1037 young people, ages 18, 21 and 26 years in Dunedin, New Zealand. The study aimed to determine if those who persisted in (1) driving after drinking, (2) driving after drinking too much to be able to drive safely, and (3) driving after using marijuana, differed from those who did not engage in these behaviors, and (4) to identify similarities and differences in the factors that predicated each of these behaviors.
