PICADO-VALVERDE, Eva M. y SANCHEZ-MARTIN, Fernando. Restructuring of beliefs related to drug use and driving among young people. Clínica y Salud [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.1, pp.7-12. Epub 02-Nov-2020. ISSN 2174-0550. https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/clysa2019a2.
The challenge of reducing road traffic accidents and increasing road safety makes it necessary to raise awareness, particularly in young people, about related risks of the drugs and driving relationship. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the implementation of a prevention program to change young people’s attitudes towards drugs and driving, in addition to investigating the relationship between risk perception of drugs use and driving depending on sex variable. A cross-sectional and quasi-experimental study was carried out with a sample of 3,299 young people from Salamanca province. The result reveals a change in beliefs and drugs representation and risk perception in young people linked to the influence of different substances on driving, showing significant sex differences in people’s risk perceptions due to the drugs and driving relationship.
