| Abstract | : | Background: Intoxicated riders tend to engage in other risk-taking behaviours such as un-helmeted riding which could further increases injury severity. The combined effect of intoxicated and un-helmeted riding on fatal injuries is rarely investigated. This study investigated the interaction effect between blood alcohol concentration and helmet use on fatal injuries. Methods: This study used the National Taiwan Traffic Crash Dataset for the period from 2011 to 2015. Data on road crashes involving a motorcycle and an automobile were extracted and analysed. Multiple logistic regression models were used to calculate the adjusted odds ratio (AOR). We calculated an interaction effect for blood alcohol concentration and helmet use based on STROBE guidelines. Keywords: intoxicated riding, alcohol use, helmet use, fatal injury, motorcycle crash. |
