Risk factors for a first-time drink-driving conviction among young men: A birth cohort study of all men born in Denmark in 1966. Christoffersen, M., N., Soothill, K., & Francis, B. Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment, 34(4):415-425, 6, 2008.
abstract   bibtex   
Using a complete birth cohort of all young men born in 1966 in Denmark (N = 43,403), the prevalence of a first-time drink-driving conviction among young men is estimated. More than 7% of the total male birth cohort was so convicted before the age of 27 years. In an examination of risk factors for a first-time drink-driving conviction, young adults coming from potentially vulnerable groups have an increased risk. Earlier criminal convictions of various types were also significant predictors of drink driving. Situational pressures also play a part and are controlled for, with the risk of a drink-driving conviction increased substantially in rural areas compared to metropolitan areas. The study concludes that disadvantages during adolescence, including parental substance abuse, having a teenage mother, and domestic violence, are associated with a first-time drink-driving conviction. ?? 2008.
