“…Almost all (83%) were conducted when no belt use law was in effect, so that pre-program belt use was low. No incentive program evaluations appear to have been conducted since 1992 (Hagenzieker et al, 1997;Nichols, 2002).…”

“…As with enforcement programs, belt use subsequently decreased somewhat, so that the average long-term belt use increase was 9 percentage points (Hagenzieker et al, 1997;Nichols, 2002). In general, the effects were greater when baseline belt use was lower and when the target population was more confined: elementary school programs had the greatest impact, followed by employers, colleges, and finally entire communities.…”

“…These involve well-publicized, highly visible and intensive enforcement over particular periods, several times per year (231,232). In provinces in France and the Netherlands, compliance with seat-belt laws increased by about 10-15% within one year of implementing such a programme (233). In Saskatchewan, Canada, 72% of drivers and 67% of passengers complied with seat-belt laws in 1987 (Figure 10).…”

“…Implementation of a selective traffic enforcement programme had produced 90% compliance by 1993 (234,235). Another effective approach involves incentives, in which people found wearing seat-belts are eligible for prizes in much the same way they might be in a lottery (233,236).…”

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) continues to carry a significant public health burden and is anticipated to worsen worldwide over the next century. Recently the authors of several articles have suggested that exposure to beta blockers may improve mortality rates following TBI. The exact mechanism through which beta blockers mediate this effect is unknown. In this paper, the authors review the literature regarding the safety of beta blockers in patients with TBI. The findings of several recent retrospective cohort studies are examined and implications for future investigation are discussed. Future questions to be addressed include: the specific indications for the use of beta blockers in patients with TBI, the optimal type and dose of beta blocker given, the end point of beta blocker therapy, and the safety of beta blockers in cases of severe TBIs.

“…Incentive programs usually are accompanied by safety belt communications and outreach and may also be combined with safety belt use policies (Nichols, 2002). Hagenzieker et al (1997) summarized 34 incentive program evaluations published between 1978 and 1992. Almost all (95%) programs were conducted in the United States.…”
