RELATIONS BETWEEN PUBLIC HEALTH AND ROAD SAFETY
3rd World Congress on Public Health and Nutrition

Keynote: J Community Med Health Educ
Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), traffic accidents are one of the main public health problems that countries are facing, which results in great mortality and injury. However, the relationship between health and road safety goes much further, since the health conditions of drivers have a high incidence in accidents. It must be considered that psycho-physical disorders can be both relatively permanent and transitory, and that they can lead to a treatment mainly with drugs that in itself can also have an impact on the capacities for driving (without disregard for illegal drugs and alcohol). In the following presentation, from the data of an investigation carried out with Spanish drivers, the main health problems that the drivers acknowledge that suffer, whether physical or psychological, are described as well as the knowledge, perceptions, attitudes and behaviors they have in different contexts , and the opinions about different solutions. With all this we propose and analyze the benefits of a series of countermeasures aimed at minimizing the incidence of risk factors related to drivers' health status, among which are: awareness campaigns, diagnosis, medical advice and the selection of drivers both negative and positive.Biography
