Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seat belt usage has frequently been identified as one of the most effective ways of improving highway safety and considered to be particularly useful in reducing fatalities. However, the state of Kansas experiences considerably lower safety belt usage rates compared to many other states and the national average. The Kansas Department of Transportation and other involved parties are interested in improving the usage rates and thereby improve safety of road users in Kansas. Accordingly, the main objective of this study was to explore the methods to increase seat belt usage in Kansas with the intention of reducing huge economic losses to the state in the form of traffic crashes. This objective was achieved by two parallel approaches: (1) By identifying the factors that affect safety belt usage in Kansas so that more effective programs could be developed. (2) By gathering information on attitudes, perceptions, understanding and other related characteristics of Kansans in relation to safety belt use. During the first approach, statistical models were developed to predict state seat belt usage rates based on factors that include demographic characteristics, socio-economic factors and policies/regulations. To supplement this, statistical models predicting traffic fatalities and unrestrained vehicle occupant fatalities as a function of seat belt law and other characteristics mentioned previously were also developed. These models could be used to quantify the effects of enforcing primary seat belt law in saving lives in Kansas. During the second approach, focus group surveys were conducted among Kansans to identify more direct human factor related issues and seat belt usage in Kansas. Focus group surveys of Kansas drivers were a real eye opener, indicating very low understanding regarding the seat belt law, where lower income groups, younger drivers, and minority groups particularly lagged. Stated belt use behavior revealed that females versus males, van users versus pick-up truck drivers, older drivers versus young drivers, non-Hispanics versus Hispanics are more likely to use seat belts. Reasons for non-use included absence of factors which positively affect the decision, types of trips. Even though some of these factors are beyond control, other findings indicate that a considerable percentage of drivers suggest stricter laws and other punishments to improve their own safety, perhaps because they are not able to maintain a high level of self-discipline by themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of seat belt use among a sample of African American college students at three Midwestern institutions of higher education. Specifically, the impact of health beliefs, health locus control, and social learning on seat belt use were explored. Questionnaire data were collected from 222 African American college students and were put into a data set to perform multiple regression analyses to determine whether health beliefs, health locus of control, and social learning were significant predictors of consistent seat belt use. Social learning was the most significant predictor of consistent seat belt use. These results provide a framework for developing future interventions targeted at increasing seat belt usage rates among African Americans.
