Impact of psychoactive substances and attention-related impairments on driving performance: Sex differences and road crash involvement

Inattentiveness and alcohol use emerged as key predictors of crash involvement, with inattentiveness showing particular relevance in the female subgroup. Prevention should focus on modifiable risk factors rather than sex. The model's higher accuracy in females suggests attentional measures may help identify at-risk drivers, though the small female sample limits generalizability.

Abstract

Inattentiveness and alcohol use emerged as key predictors of crash involvement, with inattentiveness showing particular relevance in the female subgroup. Prevention should focus on modifiable risk factors rather than sex. The model's higher accuracy in females suggests attentional measures may help identify at-risk drivers, though the small female sample limits generalizability.
