Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to identify elementary school (K-6) safety belt education programs in use in the United States, to review their development, and to make administrative and impact assessments of their use in selected States. Six programs--one K-6, two K-3, one 3-6, and two 4-6--were studied. Treatment and comparison groups were employed. Structured and spontaneous delivery approaches were identified. Pre- and post-tests were given to determine changes in knowledge, attitude, and reported behavior. Administrative and teacher perceptions were gleaned through interviews and questionnaires. All programs were viewed positively by those delivering instruction. They offered suggestions for program improvement. The programs were capable of leading to significant gains in knowledge though some classes failed to learn. Instruction led to no measurable improvement in attitudes but this could be misleading as students entered the programs with highly positive attitudes. Behavior changes were primarily.in a negative direction. They were not, however, attributable to the programs as they were more prevalent among comparison groups.
