Résumé : | Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among youths and young adults aged 16-25 years in the United States.

Use of marijuana alone and in combination with alcohol has been shown to impair driving abilities. This report provides the most recent self-reported national estimates of driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, and alcohol and marijuana combined among persons aged 16-25 years, using data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) from 2002-2014.
