To examine the effect of Florida's adoption of Statute 335.065-a law requiring the routine accommodation of nonmotorized road users (i.e., a "Complete Streets" policy)-on pedestrian fatalities and to identify factors influencing its implementation.
We used a multimethod design (interrupted time-series quasi-experiment and interviews) to calculate Florida's pedestrian fatality rates from 1975 to 2013-39 quarters before and 117 quarters after adoption of the law. Using statistical models, we compared Florida with regional and national comparison groups. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 current and former Florida transportation professionals in 2015.
Florida's pedestrian fatality rates decreased significantly-by at least 0.500% more each quarter-after Statute 335.065 was adopted, resulting in more than 3500 lives saved across 29 years. Interviewees described supports and challenges associated with implementing the law.
Florida Statute 335.065 is associated with a 3-decade decrease in pedestrian fatalities. The study also reveals factors that influenced the implementation and effectiveness of the law. Public Health Implications. Transportation policies-particularly Complete Streets policies-can have significant, quantifiable impacts on population health. Multimethod designs are valuable approaches to policy evaluations.
研究佛罗里达州通过第 335.065 号法规（该法规要求常规照顾非机动道路使用者，即“完整街道”政策）对行人死亡的影响，并确定影响其实施的因素。
我们采用多方法设计（中断时间序列准实验和访谈），计算了 1975 年至 2013 年期间佛罗里达州的行人死亡率-该法规通过前 39 个季度和通过后 117 个季度。使用统计模型，我们将佛罗里达州与区域和国家对照组进行了比较。2015 年，我们对 10 名现任和前任佛罗里达州交通专业人员进行了半结构化访谈。
第 335.065 号法规通过后，佛罗里达州的行人死亡率显著下降-每个季度至少下降 0.500%，在 29 年的时间里，挽救了 3500 多人的生命。受访者描述了实施该法规所面临的支持和挑战。
佛罗里达州第 335.065 号法规与行人死亡人数减少 30 年有关。该研究还揭示了影响该法规实施和有效性的因素。公共卫生意义。交通政策-特别是完整街道政策-可以对人口健康产生重大、可量化的影响。多方法设计是政策评估的有效方法。
