A false understanding of the driver’s responsibilities when using conditionally automated vehicles (i.e., not knowing that the drivers is still the fallback level) might promote driving under the influence of alcohol. While it is not yet known whether drivers will be more willing to drive ...
Human beings show a well-known variance in their personality traits, which strongly manifest in adolescence and remain during later periods of life. The expression of these traits may cause problems when they deviate too much from population norms. These problems manifest at a behavioural level, wh...
"This may reflect the multiple risk factors for hazardous alcohol use that disproportionately affect Māori and Pacific peoples, including neighbourhood availability of alcohol, experiences of discrimination and the effects of trauma. These are issues requiring change at a population level," Dr. Crossin ...
Appropriately, attention for injury prevention focuses on the immediate effects of ethanol intoxication on cognitive and physical performance in complex tasks such as driving, but risk also extends to chronic use at high levels, at least in the case of risk of intentional self‐harm20 and probably...
Driving policy change will also require health advocates adopt discursive strategies that promote a shift in the way FDI, THCCs and NCDs are perceived, particularly by dominant economic actors and the public. Shaping perceptions of industry legitimacy through actor and issue framing is one such strat...
its disinhibiting properties might lead to violence or inappropriate social and sexual behaviour. It may also reduce the motor skills necessary for, e.g., driving a vehicle or operating heavy machinery. In particular, alcohol use for the self-management of psychiatric disorder symptoms is often a...
If accrued sleep loss was the driving force for the observed alcohol-induced mortality in inc flies and Dilp2 mutants, we hypothesized that increasing sleep in these mutants should decrease mortality following exposure to alcohol. To pharmacologically increase sleep, inc1 and inc2 mutant flies were...
exhaustive set of 42 periods. For each period the proportion of BACs exceeding the legal limit for driving (0.05 g/dL) was calculated. The researchers estimated the mean proportion of BACs exceeding the limit and the standard deviation for each category. Where the proportion of BACs exceeding th...
