“…Data on socio-demographic characteristics of drivers and passengers in the car as the behaviour predictors which influence the degree of use of seat belts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, or some other predictors such as road and mood predictors based on the observed sample and on the self-reported behaviour of examinees in traffic, have proven to be important variables. These results correspond to previous studies where it was found that the participants' views and subjective norms are important predictors of the intended behaviour [29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

The use of seat belts, for drivers and car occupants, results in reducing the rate of fatalities and severe road injuries. In this research, the methodology of the survey was applied through the self-reporting behaviour of the respondents who determined the subjective risk based on the attitudes of the traffic participants. To evaluate the statistical significance of the categorical variables, Pearson's chi-square test was used. For certain groups of examinees, the results of the relationship (association) between socio demographic characteristics were analysed as predictors of behaviour with the degree of seat belt use. Some other predictors of behaviour, such as the road and mood predictors were analysed as well. Interest was also focused on finding out what motivated certain groups of examinees to use the seat belt. Based on the results of this research, it is possible to classify the drivers and car occupants into certain groups with respect to the seat belt use while driving. This can help in determining the ways of eliminating problems related to the low degree of seat belt use.

“…Seat belt and child restraint use among black adults and children are lower than the national average. 4,5 Similarly, seat belt use among Hispanic (85%) and non-Hispanic black (80%) adults traveling with children was lower than that for white (96%) adults traveling with children. 6 The reasons for these disparities in restraint use are not completely known but may be related to a lack of knowledge as well as a lack of culturally appropriate messages from generalized public education intervention programs.…”

Despite significant reductions in the number of children killed in motor vehicle crashes over the past decade, crashes continue to be the leading cause of death for children 4 years and older. Therefore, the American Academy of Pediatrics continues to recommend inclusion of child passenger safety anticipatory guidance at every health-supervision visit. This technical report provides a summary of the evidence in support of 5 recommendations for best practices to optimize safety in passenger vehicles for children from birth through adolescence that all pediatricians should know and promote in their routine practice. These recommendations are presented in the revised policy statement on child passenger safety in the form of an algorithm that is intended to facilitate their implementation by pediatricians with their patients and families. The algorithm is designed to cover the majority of situations that pediatricians will encounter in practice. In addition, a summary of evidence on a number of additional issues that affect the safety of children in motor vehicles, including the proper use and installation of child restraints, exposure to air bags, travel in pickup trucks, children left in or around vehicles, and the importance of restraint laws, is provided. Finally, this technical report provides pediatricians with a number of resources for additional information to use when providing anticipatory guidance to families.

“…However, disparities continue to exist, with special focus needed to develop evidence-based interventions to improve BPB use among non-white populations. Hispanic and non-Hispanic black children use child restraints at lower rates than white children (Daniels et al 2002;Garcia et al 2007;Pickrell and Ye 2009b). Previous studies indicated that low rates of BPB use are related to differences in risk perception, awareness, knowledge, and parenting styles (Simpson et al 2002).…”

Boosting Restraint Norms: A Community-Delivered Campaign to Promote Booster Seat Use

The "Boosting Restraint Norms" social marketing campaign, distributed through community organizations combined with caregiver education and a one-time free distribution of BPBs, was effective in increasing BPB use. This study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing community organizations with established audiences to spread the "No Regrets" messaging of the campaign in the community. This study also indicates that spreading evidence-based messages in this manner may effectively change behavior in populations that are often hard to reach. Future studies are needed in which this methodology is tested in additional communities and rural settings.

Seat Belt Use Among American Indians/Alaska Natives and Non-Hispanic Whites

Abstract: Background-Accidents (including motor vehicle accidents) are a leading cause of death among American Indians/Alaskan Natives (AI/AN). The purpose of this study was to examine geographic variation and the existence of a seatbelt law on seatbelt use among AI/AN and non-Hispanic Whites (NHW).
