This study examines factors associated with child passenger helmet use in five Cambodian provinces. We performed an analysis of periodic roadside observations of helmet use over a four-year period. A total of 62,039 child passengers 12 years of age and younger met inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Overall, 1369 (2.1%) of child passengers were observed to be wearing a helmet. Most significantly, children were six times more likely to wear a helmet if the driver was wearing a helmet (OR 6.2; 95% CI 5.1-7.5). In addition, the odds of helmet use were noted to be significantly different depending on province, day of the week, time of day and number of passengers on the motorcycle. This study highlights the extremely low rate of child passenger helmet use in Cambodia, and provides priorities for interventions and enforcement to ensure all children are protected from head injury.
本研究调查了柬埔寨五个省份与儿童乘客佩戴头盔相关的因素。我们对四年期间定期在路边观察到的头盔使用情况进行了分析。共有62039名12岁及以下儿童乘客符合纳入标准并被纳入分析。总体而言，观察到1369名（2.1%）儿童乘客佩戴了头盔。最显著的是，如果司机佩戴头盔，儿童佩戴头盔的可能性会高出六倍（比值比6.2；95%置信区间5.1 - 7.5）。此外，根据省份、一周中的日期、一天中的时间以及摩托车上的乘客数量，头盔使用的几率存在显著差异。本研究凸显了柬埔寨儿童乘客头盔使用率极低的情况，并为干预措施和执法工作提供了重点，以确保所有儿童免受头部伤害。
