2011 National Child Restraint Usage Special Study User’s Coding Manual

The National Child Restraint Usage Special Study (NCRUSS) provides data on the level of child restraint use and misuse for children up to 8 riding in passenger vehicles (i.e., automobiles, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), vans, and light trucks). Data was collected from June 2011 to August 2011 in the 24 Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) in the National Automotive Sampling System Crashworthiness Data System (NASS CDS) at five different site types: day care centers, libraries, recreation centers, fast food stores, and “big box” stores/chains/retail stores for infant and toddler products (e.g., Babies R’ Us). The data for each of the sampled children is weighted to represent children being transported in passenger vehicle. This user’s coding manual is the primary documentation supporting the NCRUSS data file.
