title: Gender and marital differences for risk taking among undergraduates.
abstract: The authors report the frequency of behaviors which relate to intentional and unintentional injuries in the undergraduate population in Florida (N = 1150). Comparisons of risk behavior are made for men versus women and married versus unmarried students. The findings suggest that college students frequently participate in behaviors which can lead to injury.
