Abstract

Background: It has been shown that underage individuals are more vulnerable to involvement in traffic accidents. In 2023, a total of 1,339 traffic accidents were documented in the city of Semarang. There were 1,515 traffic accidents involving 3,113 perpetrators with 17.5% (546) aged 5-20 years in 2024. The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with the riding behavior of junior high school students in Semarang City.

Methods: The present study was conducted as an observational analytical study employing a cross-sectional approach. A total of 447 subjects were selected as a sample for the study. The sampling technique used was cluster sampling. The data were collected via an online questionnaire and subsequently analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression.

Results: The findings indicated that knowledge (p = 0.006), attitude (p = 0.001), and parental involvement (p = 0.009) were significantly associated with students' riding behaviors.

Conclusion:The findings of this study indicate that educational and parental involvement are both critical factors in shaping the riding behavior of adolescent motorcyclists.
