The purpose of the workshops was to improve the effectiveness of grass roots organisations in ongoing child restraint programs, to begin co-ordination efforts within the states, and to involve other grass root supports to increase the number of organisations actively involved in the child passenger safety area. During each two day workshop representatives from various service organisations, health care professions, state legislatures and law enforcement along with highway safety officials were presented with facts about the extent of the problem and its solution followed by discussion of the various types of programs which promote child restraint usage - legislative, education and distribution.
