  • Abstract:
    This report presents a time-series analysis of changes in road safety in the U.S. from ; the public-health point of view. A 50-year period is examined, from 1958 to 2008. The ; emphasis is on the changes by decades in fatalities per population across different age groups. ; The main findings are as follows. First, from 1958 to 2008, the overall fatality rate per ; population decreased by 40%. Second, the decrease in the rate was age dependent (with the ; largest decreases for the youngest and the oldest, and smallest decreases for the middle-aged). ; Third, the overall fatality rate increased from 1958 to 1968, but it decreased for each of the four ; following decades. Fourth, the changes in the rate for each decade were age dependent. Fifth, ; the patterns of these age-dependent changes varied across the decades. ; Examples of interventions that are likely to have age-dependent effects consistent with ; the obtained differential age changes in the fatality rate are discussed. However, other ; interventions are also likely to have relevant age-dependent effects on the fatality rate.
