Abstract
Tufty clubs are the main educational intervention made by road safety officers to educate primary school children in the dangers of pedestrian accidents. The effectiveness of Tufty Clubs was assessed by testing 186 5-year old children on road safety knowledge both in the middle of their first school year and again at its end. Children from schools with Tufty Clubs were no better at either test. There was no sign on an interaction that would have indicated that the Tufty Clubs selectively improved knowledge during the year. (Author/publisher)
