Primary enforcement laws have been shown to be effective methods for increasing seat belt use at the state level.
This study investigates state differences in the effectiveness of primary enforcement laws by assessing whether a state's academic achievement, health ranking, economic prosperity, violent crime rates, government effectiveness, gender distribution, or proportion of rural roads moderate the relationship between those laws and seat belt compliance rates.
Aggregate state-level academic achievement, health ranking, government effectiveness, and proportion of rural roads uniquely moderated the seat belt use differences between primary and secondary enforcement states.
This evidence suggests that cultural, social, and demographic differences among regions may be important factors in explaining state-level differences in the effectiveness of primary enforcement of seat belt laws.
主要执法法律已被证明是在州层面提高安全带使用率的有效方法。
本研究通过评估一个州的学业成就、健康排名、经济繁荣程度、暴力犯罪率、政府效能、性别分布或农村道路比例是否会缓和这些法律与安全带遵守率之间的关系，来调查主要执法法律有效性方面的州差异。
州层面的总体学业成就、健康排名、政府效能和农村道路比例独特地缓和了主要执法州和次要执法州之间的安全带使用差异。
这一证据表明，地区之间的文化、社会和人口差异可能是解释安全带法律主要执法有效性方面州差异的重要因素。
