    High school students reported drinking and driving by age 17. Driving after drinking was linked to poor academic performance and risky driving behaviors.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Science
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Adolescent alcohol consumption and driving are significant public health concerns.
    • Understanding the prevalence and correlates of drinking and driving among high school students is crucial for prevention efforts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the self-reported drinking and driving practices of high school students.
    • To identify factors associated with driving after drinking in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire survey was administered to high school students in 1983.
    • Data collected included self-reported drinking habits, driving behaviors, academic performance, and social factors.

    Main Results:

    • By age 17, over half of males and one-third of females reported driving after drinking in the past month.

  • A significant portion of students underestimated the amount of alcohol needed to impair driving ability.
  • Driving after drinking was associated with poorer academic performance, increased social activity, and higher rates of crashes and violations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Drinking and driving behaviors are prevalent among high school students.
    • Several psychosocial and behavioral factors are linked to increased risk of driving after drinking.
    • Findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address adolescent drinking and driving.
