Road traffic accidents are a real pandemic and incur expenses amounting to 1-2% of every country's GDP. AESLEME (Association for the Study of Spinal Cord Injuries) has celebrated its 30th anniversary here in Spain. AESLEME's instructors are health workers and people with spinal cord injuries caused by road accidents: their presentations-teaching road safety and sharing information on irreversible injuries-are enhanced by personal stories that help schoolchildren to acquire knowledge on this matter.
Pre and post-quasi-experimental study.
To assess the increase in knowledge about road safety following a school-based road safety campaign.
Two multiple-choice tests were given to each of the 8106 students taking part, who were 12-14 years old. Of the four possible answers, only one of them was correct. The first multiple-choice test was taken before the presentation and the second was taken one month later.
After assessing the answers, there was a change in the tendency of the number of correct before/after answers for the multiple-choice test, and the number of correct ones rose one month after the presentation. This increase is statistically significant (p < 0.01) and represents a national increase of 61% in the probability of correct answers, although this varies from 8% to 278% depending on the region.
The assessment, involving over 8000 people, showed that there has been an improvement in road safety knowledge thanks to education provided by AESLEME's instructors, and a statistically significant increase was obtained throughout Spain and different regions.
道路交通事故是一种真正的大流行病，造成的损失相当于每个国家 GDP 的 1-2%。AESLEME（脊髓损伤研究协会）在这里庆祝其在西班牙成立 30 周年。AESLEME 的讲师是卫生工作者和因道路交通事故导致脊髓损伤的人：他们的道路安全教学介绍和不可逆损伤信息共享通过个人故事得到加强，这些故事有助于学童了解这方面的知识。
预前后准实验研究。
评估基于学校的道路安全运动对道路安全知识的增加。
对 8106 名 12-14 岁的参与者进行了两次多项选择题测试。在四个可能的答案中，只有一个是正确的。第一个多项选择题在介绍前进行，第二个在一个月后进行。
在评估答案后，多项选择题的前/后答案的数量趋势发生了变化，并且在介绍一个月后正确答案的数量增加。这一增加具有统计学意义（p<0.01），代表全国正确答案的概率增加了 61%，尽管这因地区而异，从 8%到 278%不等。
涉及 8000 多人的评估表明，由于 AESLEME 讲师提供的教育，道路安全知识有所提高，并且在西班牙和不同地区都获得了统计学上显著的增加。
