Attitudes and behaviours on driving under the influence of drugs: a multigroup analysis of non-drug users and people who use methamphetamine

Attitudes towards drug-driving, and their relationship to dangerous driving behaviour differs between those who use methamphetamine and those who do not have a history of substance usage. Targeted campaigns aimed specifically at reducing methamphetamine-related road trauma should challenge general underlying beliefs and attitudes about drug driving, rather than simply the impact of potential sanctions or influence of peers.

Abstract

Attitudes towards drug-driving, and their relationship to dangerous driving behaviour differs between those who use methamphetamine and those who do not have a history of substance usage. Targeted campaigns aimed specifically at reducing methamphetamine-related road trauma should challenge general underlying beliefs and attitudes about drug driving, rather than simply the impact of potential sanctions or influence of peers.
