Abstract

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between motorcycle licensing and operation regulations and motorcycle mortality rates in the United States during 1997 through 1999.

METHODS

A population-based ecologic study was used.

RESULTS

Lower mortality rates were observed in states with the following motorcycling requirements: skill test for a motorcycle permit (rate ratio [RR], 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69-0.84), driver training (RR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.74-0.86), longer duration of learner's permits (95-190 days [RR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.79-0.95] and >190 days [RR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.81-0.93], three or more learner's permit restrictions (RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.73-0.84), and a full helmet law (RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.71-0.81).

CONCLUSION

Specific motorcycle licensure policies appear to be associated with lower mortality rates.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在评估1997年至1999年期间美国摩托车执照与运营法规和摩托车死亡率之间的关联。

方法

采用基于人群的生态学研究。

结果

在有以下摩托车骑行要求的州观察到较低的死亡率：摩托车许可证技能测试（率比[RR]，0.76；95%置信区间[CI]，0.69 - 0.84）、驾驶员培训（RR，0.80；95% CI，0.74 - 0.86）、学习许可证有效期更长（95 - 190天[RR，0.86；95% CI，0.79 - 0.95]和>190天[RR，0.87；95% CI，0.81 - 0.93]）、三项或更多学习许可证限制（RR，0.78；95% CI，0.73 - 0.84）以及全面头盔法（RR：0.76；95% CI，0.71 - 0.81）。
