The use of seat belts in cars with different seat belt reminder systems was analyzed in a population of 477 injured car drivers, transported by ambulance to Umeå University Hospital after car crashes. The ambulance personnel acted as independent observers regarding the use of seat belts. In this population the non-users were significantly (multivariate logistic regression) fewer (12%) in cars with a combined light and sound reminder, compared to cars without reminder (23%). In cars with only a light signal the proportion of non-users was the same as in cars without any reminder at all. An introduction of more effective reminders, at least in new cars, might be an effective way to increase seat belt usage rates in the long-term.
在477名因车祸受伤、由救护车送往于默奥大学医院的汽车驾驶员群体中,分析了不同安全带提醒系统的汽车中安全带的使用情况。救护人员作为安全带使用情况的独立观察者。在这个群体中,与没有提醒装置的汽车相比,配备灯光和声音组合提醒装置的汽车中未使用安全带的人数显著较少(多因素逻辑回归分析)(12%对23%)。在只有灯光信号的汽车中,未使用安全带的比例与完全没有任何提醒装置的汽车相同。至少在新车中引入更有效的提醒装置,可能是长期提高安全带使用率的有效方法。
