TI  - Psychiatric and behavioral problems in aggressive drivers.
PG  - 1467-84
AB  - Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) are a leading cause of accidental death and 
      injury, and aggressive driving has been identified as a risk factor for MVAs. 
      Assessing psychiatric and behavioral disturbances in aggressive drivers is 
      germane to the development of prevention and intervention programs for this 
      population. The present study compared the prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses 
      and behavioral problems in young adult drivers with self-reported high driving 
      aggression to that of drivers with low driving aggression. Aggressive drivers 
      evidenced a significantly higher current and lifetime prevalence of Oppositional 
      Defiant Disorder, Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders, and Cluster B Personality 
      Disorders, and a significantly greater lifetime prevalence of Conduct Disorder, 
      Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and Intermittent Explosive Disorder. 
      Aggressive drivers also had a significantly greater prevalence of self-reported 
      problems with anger, as well as a greater family history of anger problems and 
      conflict. The findings suggest that prevention and intervention programs designed 
      to reduce aggressive driving may need to address the presence of psychiatric and 
      behavioral problems that could potentially complicate treatment or impede 
      responses to treatment.
