Abstract

Previous research has shown that bicycle helmet use among older children and adolescents continues to be low. This study determined middle school students' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to bicycle helmet use. Six middle schools in Hillsborough County, Fla., served as the research settings. A pretested survey instrument was administered to students. Overall, 3,333 sixth and seventh graders responded. Results showed that most children owned a bicycle, 38.1% owned a helmet, but only 15.8% wore a helmet the last time they rode a bike. Many students (49.7%) did not know or did not believe there was a bicycle helmet law in Florida. Predictors of helmet use were intention to use a helmet the next time one rides a bike, having a helmet, siblings' use of helmets, and friends' use of helmets.

摘要

先前的研究表明，年龄较大的儿童和青少年中自行车头盔的使用率仍然很低。本研究确定了中学生与自行车头盔使用相关的知识、态度、信念和行为。佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县的六所中学作为研究地点。对学生进行了预先测试的调查问卷。总体而言，3333名六年级和七年级学生做出了回应。结果显示，大多数儿童拥有自行车，38.1%的儿童拥有头盔，但上次骑自行车时只有15.8%的儿童佩戴了头盔。许多学生（49.7%）不知道或不相信佛罗里达州有自行车头盔法。头盔使用的预测因素包括下次骑自行车时使用头盔的意图、拥有头盔、兄弟姐妹使用头盔以及朋友使用头盔。
