The eight papers in this volume describe analyses of the

effectiveness and use of adult seat belts, based on traffic

accident data. All eight were written between January 1984 and

May 1988. The topics addressed include front seat belt

effectiveness (estimated separately for states with vs without a

seat belt use law, for drivers vs right-front seat passengers,

for occupants of cars vs pickup trucks, and by crash direction

and accident year), rear seat belt effectiveness, and issues in

estimating belt effectiveness from accident data. The principal

accident data sources are the Fatal Accident Reporting System

(FARS), the National Crash Severity Study (NCSS), and the

National Accident Sampling System (NASS).
