Title:	Seat Belt Use: Maple Valley High School Case Study
Publication Date:	Feb 2009
Type:	Issue Brief

Abstract

Seat belt use is an important factor in teen safety because 3 of every 4 unintentional deaths among ND teens results from a crash. Yet, crash statistics suggest that seat belt use is well-below the desired 100% rate. Seat belts were used by only 73% of teen drivers in injury crashes on rural Cass county roads during the past 5 years. Educating teens is important for promoting seat belt use.
