“…2. We examined existing literature to estimate the interventions' effectiveness in reducing injuries and deaths and followed the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 622 (Preusser, Williams, et al, 2008) methodology in estimating the effect for each individual state. 3.…”

“…In these circumstances, we made some assumptions to translate the estimates in the literature to effects that we can use. In many cases, we adopted the methodology applied in Preusser et al, 2008, which assumes proportional impacts on both injuries and deaths; that is, if the intervention reduced deaths by 10 percent, we assumed that injuries were reduced by 10 percent as well. We believe that this is a reasonable assumption for most of the interventions, although we recognize that this is a limitation of our methodology.…”

“…Higher seat belt fines 7.2% reduction in fatalities involving passenger vehicles Houston and Richardson, 2005, used changes in state-level seat belt fines to estimate that a $1 increase is associated with a 0.152-percentage-point increase in seat belt use, implying an 11.4% increase for a $74 fine. Using Preusser et al, 2008, this increase translates to a 7.2% decrease in injuries and deaths.…”

“…They found that the full-implementation states increased seat belt usage rates by 8.1 percentage points relative to the enforcement-only states. We use evidence found in Preusser et al, 2008, regarding the effect that seat belt use has on the risk of death in a crash to translate the increase in seat belt use to a 5.4-percent reduction in deaths.…”

The purpose of this project was to support states and local communities in making evidencebased resource allocation decisions relating to the implementation of effective evidence-based interventions for preventing motor vehicle-related injury. This report documents the data and assumptions that were used to develop the interactive online tool that states can use to assess state-specific costs and effectiveness of different interventions designed to prevent motor vehicle-related injuries. It also includes a user guide that describes how to use the tool. The tool should help states understand the trade-offs and prioritize the most cost-effective interventions to reduce motor vehicle-related injuries. The tool is available to the public at www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/calculator. The audience for this report is the users of the online tool, state and local health and safety officials seeking information on the effectiveness and costs of the various interventions.

RAND researchers have undertaken related work that extended the online tool by including two additional interventions. This additional work is sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and is incorporated into this report. In addition, an accompanying report uses the data in the tool to conduct policy analyses of traffic safety spending, and four research briefs highlight those analyses:

The purpose of this tool, which is available to the public at www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/calculator/ (CDC, 2015), is to support states and local communities in making evidence-based resource allocation decisions relating to the implementation of effective evidence-based interventions for preventing motor vehicle-related injury.In 2017, the team completed an update to the tool as part of a project led by the National Governors Association, funded by CDC, to work with states and governors' offices to strengthen strategies to reduce highway and traffic injuries and fatalities. The work includes updates to some of the data used, updates to some of the assumptions and methods to derive the data, and a full redesign of the user interface of the tool. This report documents which data, assumptions, and methods we updated. The audience for this report is the users of the online tool, state and local health and safety officials seeking information on the effectiveness and costs of the 14 motor vehicle injury prevention interventions included in MV PICCS.The more complete documentation, which includes discussion of how we selected interventions for inclusion in the tool and how we programmed the tool, is available in Ringel et al., 2015. RAND researchers have also undertaken related work that used the data in the tool to conduct policy analyses of traffic safety spending. This work was sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The main report is Ecola, Batorsky, and Ringel, 2015. Fou...
