Seat belt use in 2007 : race and ethnicity results among occupants traveling with children..

Seat belt use was statistically significantly lower for non-Hispanic African Americans than other race and ethnicity groups among passenger vehicle occupants age 25 to 69 travelling with children in 2007. This result is from the National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats (NSUBS), the only probability- based nationwide survey that observes seat belt use and collects race and ethnicity. The 2007 NSUBS also found that seat belt use was lower for Hispanics than non-Hispanics among passenger vehicle occupants age 25 to 69 travelling with children. This Research Note includes additional statistics from the 2007 NSUBS, as well as information on the survey methodology and comments on the survey results. (Author/publisher)
