Mental Health Differences and Motor Vehicle Accidents

Research as early as 2021 has shown us that an estimated 1-7% of road traffic crashes can be attributed to mental health issues including self-inflicted personal harm (Yelo et al.) and suicide (Henderson, et al.). These individual factors impact the likelihood of experiencing a motor vehicle accident. To investigate possible connections, data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (AddHealth) was used to run a multiple analysis of covariance. These results support the hypothesis that mental health-related variables are significant in relation to car accidents.

    Description
    • We are working to research data in relation to car crash data from young adults. This information is being used to determine if there is a link between suicidal ideation and unfortunate circumstances/car accidents.
