The objective of the survey summarized in this report is to establish 1988 safety belt and child safety seat usage rates in Kentucky to compare to those determined from previous surveys. Also included in this report is an analysis of accident records evaluating the effectiveness of safety belts. Statewide usage rates in the 19 cities previously surveyed in 1982 through 1986 showed that both driver safety belt usage and child safety seat and safety belt usage increased significantly in 1988 compared to previous years. Benefits in the reduction of injuries for occupants involved in police-reported accidents wearing a safety belt or in a safety seat were shown through the analysis of accident records. For example, a 40 percent reduction in fatal or incapacitating injuries was determined for drivers wearing a safety belt compared to those who were not restrained. The documented effectiveness of safety belts as a means of reducing injuries provides support for the recommendation of enactment of a mandatory safety belt law.
