Summary
Methamphetamine and alcohol are commonly detected among drivers involved in road trauma, but it is currently unclear how these substances contribute to an increased crash risk. This series of studies will (1) look at associations between drug use and attitudes and behaviours towards dangerous driving in people who use these drugs. It will also test the effect of combined alcohol and methamphetamine on (2) more complex thinking patterns and behaviours, and (3) objective driving performance.
