Abstract:

The Effectiveness of High School Safety Belt Instruction was developed during a two-phased project. In Phase I, Focus Group Activities were conducted to determine whether audiovisual safety belt instructional materials assembled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration were understandable, appealing, and subject to improvement in these characteristics. The materials were found to be generally understandable. Additionally, they were clearly appealing to driver education teachers and mixed in their appeal to police public information officers and high school students. There were strong indications that the usefulness of the materials could be enhanced by sequencing the individual media and including appropriate introductory and follow-up discussions. Phase II activities were conducted in traditional school settings to determine the impact of audiovisual safety belt instructional presentations on student knowledge, attitude, and reported safety belt usage. Two treatment groups -- driver education students (not licensed to drive) and social studies classes (licensed drivers)--showed significantly better performance than equivalent control groups in each of the three measurement categories,immediately following instruction and one month later.
