The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of police enforcement and the use of signs and posters in promoting seat belt use by nighttime tavern patrons. Ten taverns in two cities served as sites. Data were collected on the nighttime seat belt use of tavern patrons and daytime citywide seat belt use. Results indicated that the intervention increased nighttime seat belt use by tavern patrons. Daytime seat belt use increased in one city and remained at a high level in the other following the intervention. Because previous research has shown that tavern patrons are overrepresented in the impaired driving population, and that seat belt use decreases the likelihood of serious injury or death, results of this study suggest that enforcement of seat belt use could reduce casualties resulting from impaired driving.
本研究的目的是确定警察执法以及使用标志和海报对促进夜间酒馆顾客使用安全带的效果。两个城市的十家酒馆作为研究地点。收集了酒馆顾客夜间使用安全带的情况以及全市白天使用安全带的情况的数据。结果表明,干预措施增加了酒馆顾客夜间安全带的使用。干预后,一个城市的白天安全带使用率有所提高,另一个城市则保持在较高水平。由于先前的研究表明,在酒后驾车人群中酒馆顾客的比例过高,而且使用安全带可降低严重受伤或死亡的可能性,因此本研究结果表明,加强安全带使用执法可减少酒后驾车造成的伤亡。
