abstract="Introduction. Incidents of road rage are on a rise in India, but the literature is lacking in the aspect. There is an increasing realization of possibility of effective web based interventions to deliver public health related messages. <br><br>OBJECTIVE. The aim was to quantitatively evaluate risk factors among motor vehicle drivers using an internet based survey. <br><br>METHODS. Facebook users were evaluated using Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) and Driving Anger Scale (DAS). <br><br>RESULTS. An adequate response rate of 65.9% and satisfactory reliability with sizable correlation were obtained for both scales. Age was found to be positively correlated to LOT-R scores (r = 0.21; P = 0.02) and negatively correlated to DAS scores (r = -0.19; P = 0.03). Years of education were correlated to LOT-R scores (r = 0.26; P = 0.005) but not DAS scores (r = -0.14; P = 0.11). LOT-R scores did not correlate to DAS scores. <br><br>CONCLUSION. There is high prevalence of anger amongst drivers in India particularly among younger males. A short web survey formatted in easy to use question language can result in a feasible conduction of an online survey.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
