| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST VqPR0x3A. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Context Injuries from motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers. Carrying passengers has been identified as a possible risk factor for these crashes. Objective To determine whether the presence of passengers is associated with an increased risk of crashes fatal to 16-and 17-year-old drivers and whether the risk varies by time of day and age and sex of drivers and passengers. Design and Setting Incidence study of data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and General Estimates System (1992-1997), as well as the Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (1995). Subjects Drivers aged 16 and 17 years who drove passenger cars, vans, or pickup trucks. Main Outcome Measure Driver deaths per 10 million trips by number of passengers, driver age and sex, and time of day ; and driver deaths per 1000 crashes by passenger age and sex. Results Compared with drivers of the same age without passengers, the relative risk of death per 10 million trips was 1.39 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24-1.55) for 16-year-old drivers with 1 passenger, 1.86 (95% CI, 1.56-2.20) for those with 2 passengers, and 2.82 (95% Cl, 2.27-3.50) for those with 3 or more passengers. The relative risk of death was 1.48 (95% CI, 1.35-1.62) for 17-year-old drivers with 1 passenger, 2.58 (95% CI, 2.24-2.95) for those with 2 passengers, and 3.07 (95% CI, 2.50-3.77) for those with 3 or more passengers.
