EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF EDUCATIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES ON CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY IN NORTH CAROLINA 1981-1991

The University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center and the North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program have been conducting activities and programs designed to convince parents to buckle up their children in cars since 1978. This was done due to the large number of children who were being killed or seriously injured in car crashes due to the non-use of restraint systems. Educational activities and especially legislation have had a tremendous impact on child transportation safety in North Carolina. This report is an evaluation of the effects of North Carolina occupant protection legislation and educational activities on safety seat and seat belt usage rates for children and youth, and associated injury reduction in the state.
