Cross-sectional study investigates road safety awareness, riding behavior, and traffic crashes in university students, highlighting intervention needs.

Key Points

This study aims to explore the relationship between road safety awareness, motorcycle riding behavior, and the occurrence of road traffic crashes among Thai university students.
Cross-sectional study with 854 university students who rode motorcycles at least three times per week.
Participants completed an online self-administered survey regarding road safety awareness and riding behaviors.
Logistic regression assessed associations between awareness, behaviors, and road traffic crash occurrences.
The prevalence of road traffic crashes among participants was 28.7%.
Higher road safety awareness (AOR = 0.823, 95% CI: 0.705-0.961) and better motorcycle riding behaviors (AOR = 0.811, 95% CI: 0.675-0.975) were linked to fewer crashes.
Unsafe riding behaviors, particularly traffic law violations (AOR = 1.530, 95% CI: 1.012-2.313) and impaired driving (AOR = 1.695, 95% CI: 1.244-2.311), increased crash risk.
