Description:
Background: Studies of alcohol-positive patients in emergency departments are not clear on the relationship between alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms and risk for injury. Method: Two-hundred three young adults (118 males (58%); mean age=19.4 years) who were treated in two Level-1 emergency departments (ED) received comprehensive psychiatric interviews and completed the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Cognitive Appraisal of Risky Events (CARE). Results: Males diagnosed with the AUD symptom of ”drinking more or over a longer period than intended” are at greatest risk for requiring emergency care for an alcohol-related medical problem (OR=10.8, 95% CI=1.2,94.3, p<.04). Risk-taking behaviors increase risk for an alcohol-related medical event for both genders (OR=2.6, 95% CI=1.1,5.6.1, p<.03). Alcohol use disorder severity related negatively to risk for experiencing an alcohol-related medical problem (OR=0.6, 95% CI=0.4,0.9, p<.04). Conclusions: Young adults treated for alcohol-related medical problems often exhibit DSM-IV defined symptoms of AUD and are engaging in risk-taking behaviors and should be referred for an in-depth assessment of alcohol use disorders and risk-taking activities.

From the author: The purpose of this research was to assess the consistency and stability of risk-behavior within the interactive style perspective through a betting dice test (Ribes & Sanchez, 1992). We used two different versions of the betting dice test (BDT), in which some parametric values were changed in order to verify the interactive style configuration. When BDT version 1 was used (Study 1) we found that, even though the response options had the same expected value, subjects presented a conservative strategy, and that the behavior remained stable after 2 hr. The second BDT version (Study 2) allowed us to verify two aspects of the risk-taking behavior: (a) Subjects’ risk behavior remains stable after 1 yr; and (b) the assumed risk varies between the two versions of the BDT. These results are discussed within the interactive style framework.

Description:
Intelligent transport systems provide various means to improve traffic congestion in road networks. Evaluation of the benefits of these improvements requires consideration of commuters’ response to reliability and/or uncertainty of travel time under various circumstances. Various disruptions cause recurrent or non-recurrent congestion on road networks, which make road travel times intrinsically fluctuating and unpredictable. Confronted with such uncertain traffic conditions, commuters are known to develop some simple decision-making process to adjust their travel choices. This paper represents the decision-making process involved in departure-time and route choices as risk-taking behavior under uncertainty. An expected travel disutility function associated with commuters’ departure-time and route choices is formulated with taking into account the travel delay (due the recurrent congestion), the uncertainty of travel times (due to incident-induced congestion) and the consequent early or late arrival penalty. Commuters are assumed to make decision on the departure-time and route choices on the basis of the minimal expected travel disutility. Thus the network will achieve a simultaneous route and departure-time user equilibrium, in which no commuter can decrease his or her expected disutility by unilaterally changing the route or departure-time. The equilibrium is further formulated as an equivalent nonlinear complementarity problem and is then converted into an unconstrained minimization problem with the use of a gap function suggested recently. Two algorithms based on the Nelder-Mead multidimensional simplex method and the heuristic route/time-swapping approach, are adapted to solve the problem. Finally, numerical example is given to illustrate the application of the proposed model and algorithms.

Description:
This paper studies how an exogenous mortality risk affects an individual’s risk-taking behavior elsewhere. We find that individuals will respond to the new mortality risk by increasing their exposure to financial and other mortality risks.
