Samenvatting
A cross- sectional study of 1, 077 of a university in the United States was conducted to elicit a better understanding of the correlates of seat belt use. Examined were seven risk- taking behaviors, health- promoting behavior, and age, sex and race. Overall, five of the seven risk- taking behaviors, including cigarette smoking status, drinking status, amount of alcohol consumed, drug use, and drinking and driving were inversely correlated with the frequency of seat belt use.
