This study examined the association between the number of rides offered by a safe-ride program in the province of Quebec every December and alcohol-related injury crashes during the 2000\u20132019 period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Safe-ride programs in four cities were examined (Montreal, Quebec, Sherbrooke and Trois-Rivi\u00e8res) using an ecological approach. The data set was structured as a balanced cross-sectional time series. Random-effects negative binomial regression modelled the relationship between the number of rides provided by the safe-ride program and night-time alcohol-related crashes involving serious injuries and fatalities, with individual city population as an offset variable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The median number of night-time alcohol-related crashes for the months of December for the 2000\u20132019 period was 3.0 (IQR=1.5\u20134.5). The median number of rides offered was 16 894 (IQR=15 586\u201318 391). The association between the number of rides provided by the safe-ride program and night-time alcohol-related crashes (IRR=1.0002; 95%\u2009CI 0.9999, 1.0005) was not significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The role of the number of rides provided by the safe-ride program in reducing night-time alcohol-related crashes was inconclusive.
