The chance of risky driving will increase by 50.7% among young adults as their understanding of health as a state increases. On the other hand, when young people feel that others are responsible for their lives, the likelihood of risky driving will drop by 6.4%. The hedonistic life orientation of a young adult had a significant impact on the results obtained which was connected with their understanding of health.https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/7/3634responsibility for healthyoung adultsrisky drivinghealthhedonism
