Abstract

During the summer of 1987, 10,000 color-coded mailback questionnaires that identified belted and unbelted North Carolina drivers were handed out at the 72 sites that constitute the probability sample for determining the statewide belt use rate in North Carolina. By obtaining identifying information to determine the winner of a $500 prize from among the 5,074 respondents, police-reported traffic accident and conviction records from the North Carolina driver history file were linked to the belted and unbelted respondents. Analyses found that drivers who had been observed not wearing seat belts had 35% more accidents and 69% more convictions than did belted drivers in the previous four-year period. Similar findings were obtained from self-reported belt use.

摘要

1987年夏天，在构成确定北卡罗来纳州全州安全带使用率概率样本的72个地点，发放了10000份彩色编码的回邮问卷，用以识别系安全带和不系安全带的北卡罗来纳州司机。通过获取识别信息以确定5074名受访者中500美元奖金的获得者，将北卡罗来纳州驾驶员历史档案中警方报告的交通事故和定罪记录与系安全带和不系安全带的受访者相联系。分析发现，在过去四年中，被观察到未系安全带的司机发生事故的几率比系安全带的司机高35%，定罪几率高69%。自我报告的安全带使用情况也得出了类似的结果。
