Examining the relationship between poor sleep health and risky driving behaviors among college students.

Risky driving behaviors, such as texting while driving, are common among young adults and increase risk of traffic accidents and injuries. We examine the relationship between poor sleep and risky driving behaviors among college students as potential targets for traffic injury prevention. Data for this study were obtained from a cross-sectional survey administered to a college student sample in the United States Midwest (n = 1,305).

Distracted mobile device use among street-crossing college student pedestrians: an observational approach.

To estimate the incidence of mobile device use among street-crossing pedestrians and explore differences by sex and intersection type at a large public South-eastern university in the United States.All instances of campus pedestrians crossing the street during the observation period ( = 4,878).Video recordings of crosswalk activity at four locations were analyzed for pedestrian use of a mobile device while crossing.

Mobile device use while crossing the street: Utilizing the theory of planned behavior.

Every year, thousands of pedestrians are killed and tens-of-thousands are nonfatally injured as a result of traffic crashes. The year 2016 holds the record for the most pedestrians killed in one year since 1990. Mobile device use while crossing the street has been associated with unsafe crossing behaviors and gait abnormalities, potentially increasing the risk of pedestrian injury or death.

Work Site-Based Environmental Interventions to Reduce Sedentary Behavior: A Systematic Review.

Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to systematically review work site-based, environmental interventions to reduce sedentary behavior following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines.

Data Source: Data were extracted from Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science between January 2005 and December 2015.

Study Inclusion And Exclusion Criteria: Inclusion criteria were work site interventions, published in peer-reviewed journals, employing environmental modalities, targeting sedentary behavior, and using any quantitative design.
