Abstract

Follow-up telephone interviews were conducted with 2.100 parents of children under the age of four who were involved in accidents in North Carolina in order to overcome two limitations of previous studies-questionable restraint and injury information. The data obtained was weighted to make it comparable with the statewide accident population. Conclusions drawn are that unrestrained children are injured by contact with the vehicle interior or ejection.
