Abstract:This Final Report includes a total human factor data presentation, analysis, evaluation and interpretation of selected variables collected by the Boston University Traffic Accident Research Special Study team during the 30-month period of the experimental sample field investigation. Throughout this research effort the primary focus of investiqation has been with the historical and focal human factor variables associated with the operators of motor vehicles initially judged to have been the "most responsible" operators for vehicular accidents resulting in a personal fatality to the focal operator, another vehicular occupant or a pedestrian. The areas of primary interest presented in this report on 300 operators include: demographic and psychosocial variables, historical patterns of alcohol use and focal accident alcohol involvement, historical patterns of marijuana and street/entertainment drug use and focal accident involvement, the Risk Taking Behavior Scale (RTBS) and the focal Human Factor Stress Scale (HFSS). Future reports in this contract will present alcohol, marijuana and psychosocial comparisons between this experimental sample and a forthcoming control sample of fatal accident free operators. /Abstract from report summary page/
