Abstract

Introduction: Road TRAFFIC ACCIDENTs are among the most critical public health issues. Many people die on the roads each day and tens of millions sustain nonfatal injuries. The aim of this study is to describe the HIGH-RISK BEHAVIORs of motorcyclists in which police had to confiscate their motorcycles.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 240 motorcyclists in Iran from December 2010 to February 2011. A researcher-created questionnaire was used to collect data on self-reported HIGH-RISK BEHAVIORs, including passing the crossroads without considering the traffic light, refusing to wear a helmet, performing stunts in the street, and driving in the opposite direction. The collected data was descriptively analyzed.Results: The mean age of motorcyclists was 29.3 years (SD=8.26). Twenty-six percent (n=62) of the participants did not have a motorcycle driver’s license. The analysis of risk behaviors showed that 60.8% (n=146) of the motorcycle drivers usually passed crossroads without considering the traffic light and 20.8% (n=50) performed stunts in the street.Conclusions: This study indicates that the prevalence of HIGH-RISK BEHAVIORs among motorcyclists is significant.Health education interventions may inhibit these behaviors, thus reducing the risk of injuries.
