Risk for DWI: A New Look at Gender Differences in Drinking and Driving Influences, Experiences, and Attitudes among New Adolescent Drivers.
Farrow, James A.; Brissing, Peter
Health Education Quarterly, v17 n2 p213-21 Sum 1990
A group of 343 tenth-graders was studied measuring demographics, family characteristics and influences, drug and alcohol use, perception of driving skill, and personality factors. Females used drugs/alcohol more often. Males used the automobile more to enhance self-efficacy. Few significant gender differences appeared in analysis of risky driving while intoxicated situations. However, female attitudes toward DWI appeared more socially acceptable. (SK)
