OBJECTIVE
Research has found that mandatory motorcycle helmet laws increase helmet use and reduce motorcycle-related fatalities. However, the association between state moped helmet laws and helmet use in the United States has not been examined. This study investigated this association among a census of fatally injured moped riders in the United States.
METHODS
A logistic regression model was constructed to analyze data extracted from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) to examine risk factors for helmet nonuse among 572 moped riders fatally injured between 2011 and 2015.
RESULTS
Fatally injured moped riders in states with universal helmet laws had 69 times the odds of wearing a helmet (P < .001).
CONCLUSIONS
Findings suggest that universal moped helmet laws increase helmet use. However, additional research is needed to examine helmet laws and use among nonfatally injured moped riders.
目的
研究发现，强制性摩托车头盔法律能提高头盔使用率，并减少与摩托车相关的死亡人数。然而，美国各州助力车头盔法律与头盔使用之间的关联尚未得到研究。本研究在美国对所有致命受伤的助力车骑行者进行普查，调查了这种关联。
方法
构建了一个逻辑回归模型，以分析从死亡分析报告系统（FARS）中提取的数据，从而研究2011年至2015年间572名致命受伤的助力车骑行者未使用头盔的风险因素。
结果
在实行通用头盔法律的州，致命受伤的助力车骑行者佩戴头盔的几率高出69倍（P < .001）。
结论
研究结果表明，通用的助力车头盔法律能提高头盔使用率。然而，还需要进一步研究来考察非致命受伤的助力车骑行者的头盔法律及使用情况。
