The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducts a national telephone survey every two years to monitor the public's attitudes about seat belts, child restraints, reasons for their use or non-use, knowledge of seat belt laws, experience with law enforcement, and attitudes about risk perception. The 2000 survey consisted of two questionnaires, each given to a randomly selected sample of about 6,000 persons age 16 and older, with younger ages oversampled. Interviewing ran from November 8, 2000 through January 21, 2001. This Traffic Tech presents a summary of the survey results. (Author/publisher)
