The results of a study designed to identify the best approaches for increasing seat belt use among 8-15 year olds.  The summary report and appendices describe the factors underlying non-use of belts by children 8-15, and relate the reactions of children and parents to intervention approaches generated from that information.
   
IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY:  This is one of the few traffic safety studies that collected information directly from children on what would work best to get children their age to always wear seat belts.  It provides guidance to program professionals regarding targeting strategies, channels of communication, and program elements.
