The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) commissioned the research firm of Schulman Ronca and Bucuvalas, Inc. (SRBI) to conduct the 1996 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey. Between November 4, 1996 and January 5, 1997 SRBI conducted a total of 8,210 telephone interviews among a national population sample. The percentages provided in the report are weighted to accurately reflect a national population sample. The report is a follow-up to the 1994 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey, thereby permitting comparisons of the public's attitudes and behavior regarding car seats between 1994 and 1996. As in the 1994 survey, the 1996 version asked drivers about their use (or non-use) of car seats in the vehicle they usually drive; and their attitudes toward the enforcement of car seat laws. Finally, the survey gathered trend data on key items from 1994 and 1996 to explore possible changes in behavior between the two years. |
