TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Risk factors associated with road accidents among young people in Tuscany (Italy): a cross sectional study JO - Igiene e Sanita Pubblica A1 - Innocenti, Francesco A1 - Voller, Fabio A1 - Berti, Alice A1 - Silvestri, Caterina SP - 307 EP - 324 VL - 69 IS - 3 N2 - In most countries, national statistics institutes either do not measure or underestimate the impact of behavioral aspects as causes of road accidents. To bridge this gap, the Regional Health Agency of Tuscany (Italy) created the EDIT project, which evaluates driving behaviors and other lifestyle risk factors in a sample of secondary school students. Study results show that driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs or while being distracted by cigarette smoking or the use of mobile phones are the risk factors most frequently associated with traffic accidents.
