1996 MOTOR VEHICLE OCCUPANT SAFETY SURVEY, VOLUME 1: METHODOLOGY REPORT

This is the first volume in a series of reports summarizing results from the 1996 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey. The survey is conducted on a biennial basis (initiated in 1994), and is administered by telephone to a randomly selected national sample. Two questionnaires are used, each administered to approximately 4,000 respondents. The survey collects information concerning attitudes, knowledge, and behavior in different occupant protection and highway safety areas. These include safety belts, child safety seats, air bags, (bicyclist and motorcyclist) helmet use, Emergency Medical Services, and crash injury experiences. Volume I describes the methodology used to conduct the survey. It also contains copies of the questionnaires. Other volumes in this series summarize results in specific content areas.
