Abstract

The study involved the development of statistical models for estimating the effectiveness of PMVSS 202 relative to three different effectiveness measures. The results showed that integral head restraints were significantly effective in reducing overall injury at an AIS level of one or greater relative to no head restaint. In general, for other head restaint types and other injury characterizations, head restraint effectiveness estimates were positive, but were not statistically significant.
