Traffic accidents and drink driving are serious health concerns for the young adult population. Statistics data in Vietnam shows that about 40% traffic accidents (with 11% fatalities) are involved with alcohol. Objective: To describe the situation of drinking and driving among young people aged 15-25 years. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 4,850 young adults in 2 provinces of Bac Giang and Binh Thuan. Results: The proportion of high school students drinking last year was 25.9%, that of students and adult workers were 61,1% and 71,2%, respectively. While the proportion of high school students who reported driving after drinking was still low (12.1%), that of students and young workers were much higher (54.2% among college/university students and 63,4% among young workers). Conclusion: The percentage of alcohol consumption and drink-driving among people aged 15-25 years was high. The important practical implications of these results are to design effective interventions to prevent alcohol consumption and drink driving as well as the risk of traffic crashes in the young population. Key words: young adults, 15-25 years old, alcohol consumption, drink-driving

This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the avoidance of dental preventive care in high school students and their parents in the framework of The Youth and Parents Risk Factor Behavior Survey in Slovakia, the ongoing cross-sectional school-based survey of students and their parents or legal representatives. The data were collected using two separate standardized questionnaires: (i) the questionnaire for students (n = 515) and (ii) the questionnaire for parents (n = 681). The study group included 57 high school students (54.4% males) who did not visit the dentist for preventive care in the previous year. The control group included 458 students (35.8% males) who visited a dentist for preventive care at least once in the previous year. A significantly higher number of males (54.4%), older adolescents, and young adults (21.8%; 20.0%) were not visiting dental preventive care regularly. Incomplete family (56.1%), stressful situations at home (17.5%), and feeling unwell were the factors contributing to the avoidance of dental preventive care. More than 34.5% of adolescents and young adults were not visiting either dental preventive care or pediatric preventive care (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 5.14; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.40, 10.99). Children of divorced mothers and mothers with household income lower than EUR 900 had significantly higher dental care avoidance in bivariate analysis. A significantly higher percentage of fathers from the exposed group were not visiting dental preventive care regularly (47.8%, p < 0.05). The results of the study can be used as an educational intervention step focusing on the parental influence on adolescent and young adults’ behavior and as a challenge for the improvement of dental preventive care in older adolescents and young adults.
