• Description:
  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) commissioned the research firm of Schulman, Ronca & Bucuvalas, Inc. (SRBI) to conduct the 1996 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey. Between November 4, 1996 and January 5, 1997 SRBI conducted a total of 8,210 telephone interviews among a national population sample. The percentages provided in the report are weighted to accurately reflect the national population of drivers age 16 or over. This report is a follow-up to the 1994 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey, thereby permitting comparisons of the public's attitudes and behavior regarding air bags between 1994 and 1996. As in the 1994 survey, the 1996 version asked respondents if their vehicle had an air bag, whether they knew that seat belts still needed to be worn when an air bag is present, and their knowledge of the factors that trigger air bag deployment (i.e., speed and location of impact). In response to several highly-publicized air bag related fatalities, the 1996 survey added new questions examining the desirability of air bags and perceptions of injury risk from air bags. /Abstract from report summary page/
