Neighborhood-level factors affecting seat belt use
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2019Despite the well-known safety benefits of seat belt use, some vehicle occupants still do not use them.

To the Editor.— In his recent letter (1982;247:1936), Dr Thomas Dickinson discusses the potential pitfalls of incorrectly worn shoulder belts.

To the Editor.— I am in agreement with Dr Roger P. Smith's concern regarding the underuse of seat belts (1982;248:922). As the small study he conducted demonstrates, it is a sad state of affairs to see such a neglect of an easy to use and inexpensive device related to injury prevention.
