Comparisons between the groups were made based on differing BAC<\/jats:styled-content> levels using 0.080\u00a0g\/dl categories including low (0.001 to 0.079\u00a0g\/dl), high (0.080 to 0.159\u00a0g\/dl), and very high BAC<\/jats:styled-content> (\u22650.160\u00a0g\/dl), and based on 0.100\u00a0g\/dl categories including low (0.001 to 0.099\u00a0g\/dl), high (0.100 to 0.199\u00a0g\/dl), and very high BAC<\/jats:styled-content> (\u22650.200\u00a0g\/dl), with these groups compared with a no\u2010alcohol reference (0.000\u00a0g\/dl) in separate analyses. Multivariate logistic regressions compared suicides with MVC<\/jats:styled-content>s that adjusted for age, sex, and race\/ethnicity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Support for the hypothesis that suicides are more likely to have a low BAC<\/jats:styled-content> level was supported in the analysis using the 0.100\u00a0g\/dl categorizations. Neither analysis supported the hypothesis that MVC<\/jats:styled-content>s are more likely to have high (or very high) BAC<\/jats:styled-content>s compared with suicides. Among both injury groups with positive BAC<\/jats:styled-content>s, low BAC<\/jats:styled-content>s were least common.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>Low BAC<\/jats:styled-content> levels may be more likely to be observed among suicides compared with MVC<\/jats:styled-content>s, a possible reflection of the more varied role that alcohol plays in suicide compared with MVC<\/jats:styled-content>. Nonetheless, high (and very high) BAC<\/jats:styled-content> is the predominant scenario in both suicides and MVC<\/jats:styled-content>s with positive BAC<\/jats:styled-content>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/acer.13002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,1]],"date-time":"2016-03-01T12:47:37Z","timestamp":1456836457000},"page":"772-775","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Blood Alcohol Concentrations in Suicide and Motor Vehicle Crash Decedents Ages 18 to 54"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Kenneth R.","family":"Conner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry University of Rochester Medical Center Rochester New York"},{"name":"VISN 2 Center of Excellence for Suicide Prevention Canandaigua VA Medical Center Canandaigua New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Lathrop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator University of New Mexico Albuquerque New Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raul","family":"Caetano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prevention Research Center Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation Oakland California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincent","family":"Silenzio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry University of Rochester Medical Center Rochester New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kurt B.","family":"Nolte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator University of New Mexico Albuquerque New Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"A Agresti 2002 Wiley & Sons Hoboken NJ"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15288\/jsad.2015.76.474"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/acer.12038"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/suli.2010.40.3.193"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/abn0000047"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2013.301352"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15389580490465229"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","unstructured":"DW Hosmer S Lemeshow 2000 Wiley and Sons New York NY"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0272-7358(00)00070-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/injuryprev-2012-040317"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/epirev\/mxr018"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/323281"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.2001.tb02172.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","unstructured":"National Center for Health Statistics(2014)10 leading causes of deaths by age group United States\u20142012.
