      <title>FATAL INCIDENTS INVOLVING PICKUP TRUCKS IN ALABAMA</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/371192</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Death or injury resulting from crashes involving light trucks (i.e., pickup trucks) is a significant problem. Data show that fatal crashes and occupant fatalities involving light trucks have steadily increased since 1983. This project describes vehicle crashes involving passengers riding in the beds of pickup trucks. Actual crashes were identified through the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The 40 incidents studied involved 204 pickup truck passengers. Of these, 45 were killed, 107 sustained visible injuries or were carried from the scene, 6 had bruises and abrasions, and 2 had no visible injury but were briefly unconscious or had a documented complaint of pain. The risk of death among pickup truck passengers who were fully ejected from the vehicle was nearly six times that of passengers not fully ejected. Correspondingly, the risk of ejection from the truck was 26.7 times greater among occupants riding in the bed than for occupants riding in the cab.]]></description>

      <title>MICHIGAN ALCOHOLISM SCREENING TEST TO DIAGNOSE EARLY ALCOHOLISM IN A GENERAL PRACTICE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/270639</link>
      <description><![CDATA[General medical patients can be easily screened for alcohol dependence on a routine basis.  The Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) is a 24-item yes-no questionnaire concerning alcohol-related behavior. When it was included in the history self-administered to new patients in an internal medicine faculty-resident outpatient practice, it uncovered unsuspected alcohol dependence.  The combined questionnaire (health history plus MAST) was given to 351 consecutive new outpatients. Thirteen (4%) were found to have positive MAST scores (greater than 7), indicating alcohol dependence.  Nine patients were in the mild dependence range (7 to 20), two in the moderate range (20 to 30), and two in the severe range (30 to 53).  All patients with significant MAST scores had complaints related to active drinking. The MAST score directed the physicians' therapeutic efforts in nine of 13 patients; in four the significant MAST score was ignored.  The MAST is useful to detect unsuspected alcohol dependence in office practice. When used by faculty and residents trained in recognizing alcohol-related behavior, the test will properly direct therapeutic and rehabilitative efforts for those patients with the primary diagnosis of alcohol dependence.]]></description>

      <title>SEAT BELT USE AND AUTOMOBILE SAFETY COUNSELING BY PEDIATRICIANS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/204084</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Safety restraints have proven effective in the prevention of serious automobile injuries and deaths, but safety education has been ineffective in getting consumers to use restraints.  We surveyed the personal and counseling practices of a group of pediatricians over a one-year period to determine whether prenatal and postpartum safety education of parents influenced the pediatricians' own use of car restraints and their counseling practices. Seventy-two percent of participating pediatricians reported that they always or often wore restraints, but usage had not increased at the conclusion of the study. Seventy percent of pediatricians stated that they provided safety counseling in the prenatal and postpartum periods and during health examinations.  There was a strong correlation between personal seat belt usage and frequency of counseling.]]></description>

      <title>DRIVING WITH EPILEPSY: A CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/204085</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A committee of concerned neurologists in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Safety and other agencies reviewed the present state licensing rules for epileptics and offered recommendations for amendments.  Epileptics, diabetics, and patients with cerebrovascular disease have an accident rate of approximately twice that of the general population.  Seizures probably account for approximately .02% of all vehicle accidents and only .5% to .01% of the fatal accidents.  Accidents caused by seizures involve the driver's vehicle alone or an immovable object 80% of the time and occur in less populated and developed areas than controls.  The number of seizures within the first three months of therapy is a powerful prognostic indicator. With knowledgeable individual consideration, licensing epileptics to drive could be done much earlier than previously allowed, without affecting road safety. Physicians giving recommendations for licensing in good faith should be protected by law from liability for unforeseen seizure recurrence.]]></description>
