Abstract:Elementary school children in Loudoun County, Virginia took part in a program whose purpose was to acquaint them with the need to wear auto seat belts. Before, during and after this program, passengers and drivers of cars with children of elementary school age were observed in and near shopping centers in Loudown County and in a control county, Prince Georges County, Maryland. There was an increase in seat belt usage among Loudoun County elementary school children, from the pre- to post-program periods, and no increase (actually, a decrease occurred) in Prince Georges County. Also, many children (and their teachers) in Loudoun County claim to have increased their usage of seat belts. /Abstract from report summary page/
