Question

to evaluate the association between self - reported sleep duration on an average school night and several injury - related risk behaviors (infrequent bicycle helmet use, infrequent seat belt use, riding with a driver who had been drinking, drinking and driving, and texting while driving) among us high school students, cdc analyzed data from 50,370 high school students.... the likelihood of each of the five risk behaviors was significantly higher for students who reported sleeping ≤7 hours on an average school night. - \sleep duration and injury - related risk behaviors among high school students - united states, 2007 - 2013,\ centers for disease control and prevention
based on the information provided in the reading, what action should teens take to prevent injuries?
○ ignore the pressures associated with hanging out late, drinking, and driving
○ warn others about texting and driving, especially when they are tired
○ make getting a good nights sleep on a regular basis a priority
○ wear a helmet when bicycling home late at night

Explanation:

The text emphasizes the link between short sleep duration (≤7 hours) and higher risk of injury - related behaviors. So, taking action to ensure good sleep (which addresses the root cause of increased risk behaviors) is the most relevant. Ignoring pressures related to hanging out late etc. is too vague. Warning about texting and driving only addresses one behavior. Wearing a helmet only addresses one situation. Making good sleep a priority can potentially reduce all the mentioned risk behaviors as it targets the factor (sleep) that is associated with higher likelihood of all those risk - taking actions.

Answer:

make getting a good night’s sleep on a regular basis a priority
