| 摘要： | This report provides data and analysis on the 2003 National Personal Flotation Device (PFD) Wear Rate Observation Study with comparison information from the 1998 through 2002 studies. Tracking changes in PFD wear rates over time provides important statistics for those individuals and groups responsible for educating the public about boating safety, improving boating safety programs, and for legislative efforts targeting safety improvements for recreational boating. The United States Coast Guard reported in the 2002 Boating Statistics report that among the 524 drowning deaths in 2002, 442 of the individuals were not wearing a PFD. It is estimated that 90%of drownings could be prevented if every boater wore a PFD (U.S. Coast Guard, 1998). These statistics make it essential to not only track the national PFD wear rate among recreational boaters, but also to understand the circumstances and patterns in which PFDs are used in order to tailor messages and safety education programs appropriately. |
