How does attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder affect driving behavior components? Baseline findings from Persian traffic cohort.

Purpose: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) increases the risk of road traffic injuries through various mechanisms including higher risky driving behaviors. Therefore, drivers with ADHD are shown to be more prone to road traffic injuries. This study was conducted in a community-based sample of drivers to determine how ADHD affects driving behavior components.

Design, development, and evaluation of a multi-lingual web-based database for informing people regarding driving-impairing medicines.

Objective: Driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) is a growing traffic safety problem in many countries. It is estimated that 5 to 10% of medicinal drugs may impair driving due to their side effects. Despite the high number of medicinal drugs prescribed in Iran, there is a lack of a database that could provide specialized information regarding medicinal drugs and driving.

Quality of Life and Socioeconomic Status in Northwest of Iran: First Wave of the Persian Traffic Cohort Study.

This study aimed to evaluate the association between Quality of Life (QOL) and independent factors, emphasizing Socio Economic Status (SES) in northwestern Iran. A population-based cross-sectional study was performed within the Persian Traffic safety and health Cohort in 2020. Participants were chosen using stratified random sampling method.

The PERSIAN Cohort: Prevalence of Psychiatric Disorders Among Employees.

Background: Considering the impact of psychiatric disorders on the productivity of individuals and society's economy, we aimed to determine the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among the employees of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 1282 employees of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in 2019. The required data were collected by trained psychologists using Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI).

The association between ambient air pollution and migraine: a systematic review.

Some studies have shown the effect of air pollution on migraine. However, it needs to be confirmed in larger-scale studies, as scientific evidence is scarce regarding the association between air pollution and migraine. Therefore, this systematic review aims to determine whether there are associations between outdoor air pollution and migraine.

Evaluation of cost-effectiveness of single-credit traffic safety course based on Kirkpatrick model: a case study of Iran.

Background: Training plays a role in reducing traffic accidents, and evaluating the effectiveness of training programs in managers' decision-making for training continuation is important. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a single-credit traffic safety course based on the four levels of the Kirkpatrick model in all Iranian universities.

Methods: This interventional study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a single-credit traffic safety course based on the Kirkpatrick model from 2016 to 2020 in Iran.

Pedestrians' unsafe road-crossing behaviors in Iran: An observational-based study in West Azerbaijan.

Objective: Pedestrians are one of the most vulnerable users in road traffic injuries (RTIs). The rate of pedestrians' fatality is high in Iran. It is worthwhile to investigate how pedestrians behave.

Parents' knowledge and socio-demographic determinants toward child's restraint system use.

Background: Lack of protection or improper protection, is one of the most important reasons of child passenger's death and injury in traffic crashes. Based on what we see on the roads, Iranian children are unrestrained inside the car. The aim of this study was to investigate children restrained system (CRS) use rate, its socio-demographic determinants and parents' knowledge toward CRS use among Iranian parents.

Adaptation of a European categorization system for driving-impairing medicines in Iran.

Objective: Road traffic crashes due to impaired driving are a leading cause of preventable injuries and deaths. The purpose of this study was adaptation of a European categorization system for driving-impairing medicines in Iran.

Methods: DRUID categorization system was used as a leading model to classify medicines.

Categorization and labeling systems concerning driving-impairing medicines: A scoping review.

Objective: Classification systems concerning driving-impairing medicines can help healthcare providers identify medicinal drugs with no or the least impairing effects and inform patients of the potential risks of certain medicines to safe driving. This study aimed to comprehensively assess the characteristics of classifications and labeling systems regarding driving-impairing medicines.

Methods: Google Scholar and several databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, safetylit.
