Driver characteristics associated with child safety seat usage in Malaysia: A cross-sectional study
2010, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :‘Monthly family income’ revealed no significant correlation with CSS usage in this study. This finding is not consistent with other literature (Gielen et al., 1984; Wagenaar et al., 1988), which states that drivers with higher incomes in the United States are more likely to use CSS. The results for this variable are limited by the closed-ended nature of the survey questions.
Factors associated with the premature graduation of children into seatbelts
2008, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Relative to participants earning less than $40,000 and driving a passenger car/station wagon, participants earning more than $76,000 and driving a passenger car/station wagon were almost five times more likely to prematurely seat their child in a seatbelt. In contrast, previous studies have demonstrated a positive relationship between driver socioeconomic status and frequency of CRS use (Wagenaar et al., 1998; Russell et al., 1994). These differences may be attributable to differences in the income (and education) range across the study samples.
Magazine information on safety belt use for pregnant women and young children
2007, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Inaccuracy due to the lack of this information may result in misunderstanding as regards the recommendation of such practices. Some such tips and product advertisements, if accompanied by appropriate information, may actually help parents start and keep using a CSS because determinants of CSS use include affordability of a CSS and perceived discomfort of the child in a CSS (Margolis et al., 1992; Pieterse et al., 1992; Wagenaar et al., 1988; Webb et al., 1988). Unlike seat selection, seat positioning, or setting seat direction and angle, tight CSS installation in the car and snug placement of the child in a CSS are quite complicated procedures which require skills.
Pickup truck use in the National Personal Transportation Survey
2001, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :We found that 42% of US households have children; of these, greater than one-third have a pickup truck. Since one of the most significant risk factors for unrestrained children is an unrestrained adult or driver in the vehicle (Wagenaar et al., 1988; Anonymous, 1993), increasing seat belt use among drivers of pickup trucks could positively impact use of child restraint systems. Data from this study could be used to develop social marketing strategies for pickup truck occupants, such as those that have been successful in promoting seat belt use in other passenger vehicles.
