On July 1, 1990, the first statewide law in Australia requiring wearing of an approved safety helmet by all bicyclists became effective in Victoria (1989 population: approximately 4.3 million) (Figure 1). Implementation of the law was preceded by a decade-long campaign to promote helmet use among the estimated 2.2 million persons who ride bicycles; the campaign included educational programs; mass media publicity; financial incentives; and efforts by professional, community, and bicycle groups (1,2). This report assesses helmet law enforcement, helmet use, and injuries related to bicycling in Victoria.
1990年7月1日，澳大利亚第一部要求所有骑自行车者佩戴经批准的安全头盔的全州性法律在维多利亚州生效（1989年人口：约430万）（图1）。在该法律实施之前，开展了为期十年的运动，以促进在估计220万骑自行车者中使用头盔；该运动包括教育项目、大众媒体宣传、经济激励措施，以及专业团体、社区团体和自行车团体所做的努力（1,2）。本报告评估了维多利亚州头盔法律的执行情况、头盔使用情况以及与骑自行车相关的伤害情况。
