“…Since passage of a primary safety belt law in 1996, belt use in rural Georgia increased from 62.9% to 88.2% in 2011, 5% lower than the rest of the state, but consistent with a study by the CDC finding rural belt use higher in states with primary safety belt laws 15. In 2009, the rate of rural teen drivers unbelted in crashes was 42.3 per 10,000 licensed drivers compared to 24.0 for urban teens (Table 1).…”

Introduction:The purpose of this study is to examine the relevance of non-specific safety belt use data for interventions to rural teens and to pilot a data collection project to provide more specific data to traffic safety stakeholders and educators in rural areas.Methods:Twelve high schools in Southeast Georgia were used for observed safety belt data collection over a 16 month period. Observational surveys were conducted at the entrance to student parking lots of the studied schools in the morning or afternoon. Observers were trained and survey methods were standardized to maintain comparability between results.Results:Observational surveys revealed a safety belt usage rate of 38.6% among high schools teens at the studied high schools. Safety belt usage rates ranged from 9.5% to 66.9%. Observed safety belt use for female vehicle occupants was 48.4% compared to 35.6% for males.Conclusion:The observational survey results from this study support research showing that rural teens have lower safety belt usage rates than adults or urban teens. Despite efforts to target rural areas, programs must specifically target sub populations, especially rural male teens, in order to hold any traction. Because of the wide gap between measured safety belt use in rural Georgia (79.9%) and the studied rural high schools (38.6%), local program planners must assess actual safety belt usage in their high risk rural teen population in order to use accurate metrics for intervention and education efforts.

“…Employment status (Strine et al, 2010), income (Venkatesh, Sykes, & Venkatraman, 2014;Warf, 2013) The researches which relate ICT and inmates are majority focused on distance education (Farley, Murphy, & Bedford, 2012;Pike, 2009). There is a lack of research on policies that could bridge the gap of digital divide.…”

a b s t r a c tThe deprivation of freedom for the prisoners, involves not only physical isolation, but also digital, which implies a strong isolation particularly painful in an ''information society''. Spanish prison population is deprived of access Internet and all ICT that could contact inmates with outdoor life, this is mainly due to security issues. Not having enough ICT skills is a new cause of social exclusion. The objective of this research was to identify the key issues which should be focused by policy makers to avoid digital divide among prison population. A survey among inmate population in all the five penitentiary centers in Galicia, in the northwest of Spain, was undertaken to obtain a sample of 380 inmates. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) was carried out to explain prisoners' ICT Skills, in bias to inmate's social skills, general skills and attitude towards collaborative learning. For inmates, who are characterized by their low education level, results shown the relevance of having general and social skills to be able to have more ICT skills. Then, collaborative learning in prison it is shown as a way to bridge both walls: the physical (better reinsertion and no recidivism) and the digital one.

“…143 Mandatory vaccination programs, smoking bylaws, and seat belt legislation are examples of initiatives where individual freedoms have been limited in the interest of the public good. [144][145][146] The chiropractic profession encourages its members' responsibility to public health promotion, 1,10 and this is recognized in several codes of ethics. [138][139][140] For example, the Canadian Chiropractic Association's Code of Ethics and conduct guides its members to "accept full share of the chiropractic profession's responsibility to society in matters relating to spinal and public health, health education, and legislation affecting the health or well-being of the citizens of the community."…”
