Title
Log-Linear Analysis Of The Relationship Between Alcohol Involvement And Driver Characteristics In Traffic Crashes
Abstract
This study examines the differences in alcohol-related crash involvement among different driver groups in the state of Florida. The driver characteristics considered in this study are: the age, gender, and residency of the driver of a motor vehicle involved in a crash while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or alcohol/drugs. The main objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between alcohol involvement in traffic crashes and the three aforementioned driver factors. This help us to identify the high-risk group within each driver factor. The analysis was carried out by estimating log-linear models. The results showed that the 25 to 34 age group experience the highest rate alcohol/drug involvement in traffic crashes. The results also indicated that there are significant relationships between the driver characteristics and alcohol/drug involvement in crashes. Male and in-state drivers were also more involved in alcohol/drugs-related traffic crashes.
