| 摘要： | The objective of this study was to determine the child occupant restraint use in the state of Michigan through an observational survey. This study, the second yearly survey of restraint use in Michigan, enables the identification of emerging trends; examination and measurement of changes resulting from standard enforcement legislation; and the assessment of the effects of Operation ABC (America Buckles Children), a Public Information and Education (PI&E) program. Analysis of national personal travel data identified schools and non-school sites (fast fc^ restaurants, skating rinks, malls, movie theaters, and recreation centers) as locations frequently visited by children 4 to 15 years of age that were also suitable for an observational study. A stratified random sampling design was developed and 128 sites (4 school and 28 nonschool in each of 4 strata) were sampled. Trained observers visited the sites, located vehicles with target age children, and recorded the occupant restraint use of the children ( in all seating positions) and driver of the vehicle, along with other descriptive information. The results showed that overall child occupant restraint use In Michigan was 81.1 ± 1.8 percent In addition, child occupant restraint use followed closely the driver belt use, with child occupant restraint use more than 86 percent when the driver was using a safety belt Child occupant restraint use varied by age group with children under 4 years of age more likely to be restrained than children 4 to 15 years of age. Child occupants in sport utility vehicles, vans/minivans, and pickup trucks were more likely to be restrained than those in passenger cars. Restraint use varied by seating position, with older children in the front right position more likely to be restrained than in other seating positions. Restraint use also varied by whether foe trip was to a school or nonschool site, with older children less likely to be restrained at school than nonschool sites. There were no differences in restraint use by te sex of the child or by day of week. |
