Values in bold indicate p < .10.

Binomial logistic regression models testing association of demographics on street racing variables. Descriptive statistics and regression models accounted for complex survey design.

Multivariate regression models only included demographic variables that had at least one group significantly (p < .05) associated with DSR/PSR in a bivariate model.

AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; C-RDS = Checkpoints Risky Driving Scale; DSR = driving in a street race in the past 12 months; DWI = driving while intoxicated; GED = general equivalency diploma; OR = odds ratio; PSR = being a passenger in a street race in the past 12 months.

a

Also controlled for frequency of driving in past 30 days.

b

Standardized Cronbach’s α = .92.

c

Standardized Cronbach’s α = .93.
