• Abstract:
  In 1996, the overall observed shoulder belt use rate was 61.5%, as measured by the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS). This is compared to 58.0% observed in 1994. The NOPUS was conducted in the Fall of 1996 to estimate safety belt use in the United States. This research note presents the results from that portion of the study called the controlled intersection study, which provides information about shoulder belt use by type of vehicle and person characteristics and child restraint use. This research note presents restraint use by driver or passenger age group, sex, race, and type of area where the data were collected. Restraint use by specific vehicle type and available restraint system will be presented in a future research note.
