✦ Synopsis

Sent belt use of high school drivers was observed

at six high schools in Xlaryland and. for comparison.

at locations near each school. Use rates for high school drivers ranged from one percent to 214. varying with socioeconomic status of the areas in which the schools were located. For non-high school drivers the range was S-?I?.

For the six schools. the ranking of use rates from lowest to highest \vas the same for high school and non-high school drivers. However, at each school. belt use rates for high school drivers were lower than for non-high school drivers. ;\t Iike of the schools. use rates for non-high school drivers were more than double the rates for hish school drivers: they were more than five times as high at three schools. Prior ressarch indicates that Increasing the use of belts that must be manually fastened is difficult to achieve. The most reliable way substantial increases can be made in the extent to which teenagers and others are restrained in crashes is by providing restraints that work automatically. such as air bags.
