abstract: 'Objective Deaths and serious injuries among young drivers are an
|
|
|
|
important public health concern. Road safety researchers and policy
|
|
|
|
makers tend to focus on strategies to restrict the driving activities of
|
|
|
|
young people. Other social research suggests the disadvantages
|
|
|
|
experienced by young people in socially deprived groups are exacerbated
|
|
|
|
by not having a driving licence or owning a car. In this qualitative
|
|
|
|
study, we consider the views of young people from less affluent
|
|
|
|
backgrounds in the south-west of England who took part in a brief
|
|
|
|
intervention to encourage them to delay gaining a driving licence and
|
|
|
|
car ownership.
|
|
|
|
Methods Between September 2011 and January 2012, a researcher observed
|
|
|
|
four training sessions involving 173 young people. Postintervention,
|
|
|
|
digitally recorded focus groups were conducted at three venues involving
|
|
|
|
23 randomly selected young people. Data from the focus group transcripts
|
|
|
|
were sorted into charts in relation to key research questions and
|
|
|
|
scrutinised using constant comparison.
|
|
|
|
Results These young people believed the ability to drive, and car
|
|
|
|
ownership, could increase their independence, improve access to further
|
|
|
|
education, widen their employment opportunities, and enable them to
|
|
|
|
contribute to family or household responsibilities.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions We argue there is a potential conflict between some
|
|
|
|
strategies seeking to promote young driver safety and the impact this
|
|
|
|
may have on equity and social disadvantage. Interdisciplinary work is
|
|
|
|
required between professionals and researchers in transport, road
|
|
|
|
safety, public health and social equity. Government policies should
|
|
|
|
include low-cost, safe, reliable and attractive transport alternatives
|
|
|
|
for young people in more deprived communities.'
