Abstract

Abstract

Objective To research the existing environment and factors affecting road traffic injuries (RTIs) among takeout couriers in Hefei City, to provide solid evidence for reducing RTIs in this population. Methods A random sampling method was used to survey takeout couriers in Hefei City. The survey covered basic information, self-assessed anxiety and social support, frequency of traffic injuries, and safety-related driving behavior. Multivariate logistic regression models were employed to examine the factors influencing RTIs among this population. Results A total of 463 takeout couriers were interviewed, 42 of whom were wounded (9.1%). Most injuries occurred in non-motor vehicle lanes (76.2%), between April and June (69.0%), and from 16:00 to 19:59 (45.2%). The upper (35.7%) and lower (33.3%) limbs were the most severely affected body parts, with contusions/abrasions being the most common type of injury (57.1%). Outpatient treatment was the most common form of post-injury care (45.2%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the length of employment ≥ 1 year (OR=0.41, 95% CI: 0.18-0.91, P=0.029), no retrograde distribution (OR=0.45, 95% CI: 0.22-0.94, P=0.033), and high social support scores (OR=0.39, 95% CI: 0.16-0.97, P=0.042) were protective factors for RTIs among online distribution personnel. However, being married /remarriage (OR=2.18, 95% CI: 1.07-4.42, P=0.031) was identified as a risk factor. Conclusions The incidence of RTIs among takeout couriers is relatively high. To address this, it is essential to strengthen emotional support for takeout couriers, enhance their traffic safety awareness training, and capitalize on their work experience.
