The purpose of this study was to calculate national estimates and examine the extent to which children prematurely use adult seat belts and ride in the front seat of a vehicle during a 30 day period.
Data were obtained from a nationally representative cross-sectional random-digit-dial telephone survey that included child-specific questions on motor vehicle restraint use and seating position.
Among children less than 13 years, parents reported an estimated 618,337 who rode unrestrained and more than one million who rode in the front seat of a vehicle at least some of the time in the past 30 days. During the same time period, close to 11 million children 8 years and younger reportedly used only adult seat belts.
Our results highlight the need for continued outreach to parents regarding optimal restraint use and rear seating position for children every trip, every time.
本研究旨在计算全国范围内的估计值,并探讨在过去 30 天内,儿童过早使用成人安全带和坐在车辆前座的程度。
数据来自全国代表性的横断面随机数字拨号电话调查,其中包括关于汽车安全带使用和座椅位置的儿童特定问题。
在不到 13 岁的儿童中,父母报告估计有 618,337 名儿童未系安全带,超过 100 万名儿童在过去 30 天内至少有一段时间坐在车辆前座。在同一时期,据报道,近 1100 万名 8 岁以下的儿童仅使用成人安全带。
我们的结果强调了需要继续向父母宣传每次乘车时最佳的约束使用和后排座椅位置。
