Abstract
Introduction: Motor-vehicle crashes and suicide are two of the leading preventable causes of death among teenagers. Method: To investigate the association between suicidal thoughts and crashes we analyzed cross-sectional survey data on suicidal thoughts, risky driving behavior, and crash involvement. Results: We found evidence of a positive correlation between suicidal thoughts with crash involvement and each of the risky driving behaviors measured in the survey. Practical Applications:This is the first time this association between suicidal thoughts and crashes has been described in this population
期刊介绍:
Journal of Safety Research is an interdisciplinary publication that provides for the exchange of ideas and scientific evidence capturing studies through research in all areas of safety and health, including traffic, workplace, home, and community. This forum invites research using rigorous methodologies, encourages translational research, and engages the global scientific community through various partnerships (e.g., this outreach includes highlighting some of the latest findings from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
