TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Adolescent and Young Adult Crash Risk: Sensation Seeking, Substance Use Propensity and Substance Use Behaviors JO - Journal of Adolescent Health A1 - Dunlop, Sally M. A1 - Romer, Daniel SP - 90 EP - 92 VL - 46 IS - 1 N2 - In a national youth sample, the propensity to use substances was more strongly related to motor vehicle crashes than use of any specific substance studied (cigarette, alcohol, marijuana). Substance use propensity was associated with sensation seeking, suggesting that increased crash risk for these youth is likely a result of general risk-taking tendencies.
