The national health objectives for the year 2000 called for an increase in the use of safety restraints to 85% of motor vehicle occupants. An assessment on one campus indicated that only 79% of those observed were wearing seat belts. Nursing faculty and students undertook a multimodal intervention campaign to increase seat belt use in the campus community. Observed use of seat belts increased to 81% after the week-long intervention consisting of reminder banners, media coverage, permanent reminder signs, roll-over demonstrations, a presentation on the need for seat belt use, and distribution of seat belt use pledge cards. Although the increase was small, it was statistically significant and could represent considerable savings in healthcare costs if even 2% of the population could be saved from serious injury by using seat belts. In addition, the change in seat belt use represented a decline of nearly 10% in the number of nonusers.
2000年的国家健康目标要求将安全带的使用率提高到85%的机动车驾乘人员。对一个校园的评估表明，观察到的人员中只有79%系着安全带。护理教师和学生开展了一项多模式干预活动，以提高校园社区安全带的使用率。在为期一周的干预措施实施后，观察到的安全带使用率提高到了81%，这些干预措施包括提醒横幅、媒体报道、永久性提醒标志、翻车演示、关于使用安全带必要性的演讲以及分发安全带使用承诺书。尽管增幅很小，但在统计学上具有显著意义，如果哪怕2%的人口通过使用安全带能够避免严重受伤，这可能意味着医疗成本的大幅节省。此外，安全带使用情况的变化表明未使用者的数量下降了近10%。
