• Abstract:
  Recent upgrades to rear-seat belt laws in two States were documented, based on information gathered from legislative websites, news articles, and other internet sources as well as interviews with key observers. Successful strategies and challenges were identified. An additional goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of adult rear-seat belt laws on rear-seat belt use using an observational survey.
