Abstract

The purpose of this article is to verify the link between socio-demographic factors and risk-taking among Cameroonian motorbike taxi drivers in relation to the wearing of helmets and the prohibition of alcohol consumption while driving. These factors are age, gender, experience, level of education and religious affiliation. 300 Cameroonian motorbike taxi drivers were interviewed using a questionnaire consisting of an introductory note, items from the Goggin scale (2007) and items from Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour (1991). These were selected using a random choice sampling technique and the results were analysed using one-way ANOVA. It is a link between socio-demographic factors and risk-taking among Cameroonian motorbike taxi drivers. This article provides information on the socio-demographic factors to be taken into account in risk-taking among motorbike taxi drivers, in order to address the issue of awareness and education programmes for them.
