Abstract:This study was conducted to obtain statistically valid data on a variety of highway safety issues, such as attitudes toward drunk driving, use of safety belts and child safety seats, and to establish data regarding driving patterns. The study design provided a unique opportunity to determine what, if any, relations existed between the respondents' attitudes toward drunk driving and the use of occupant protection devices and how those attitudes affected their driving patterns. This study was done in three phases. Phase I was a series of focus groups to assist it, the development of the survey instrument. Phase I was 3 nationwide telephone survey of 1,000 households, as well as a sample of 200 respondents who had been interviewed by telephone approximately18 months earlier. Phase III of the study was a final set of focus groups which were used to interpret data from the telephone survey and in providing a sense of the qualitative intensity of results.
