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.
