TL;DR
Improved motor vehicle- and bicycle-related injury prevention strategies are needed that specifically target adolescents, and logistic regression is used to analyze data from national Youth Risk Behavior Surveys.
Abstract
Many young people place themselves at unnecessary risk for motor vehicle- and bicycle-related crash injuries and fatalities. Improved motor vehicle- and bicycle-related injury prevention strategies are needed that specifically target adolescents.

Responses of seventh grade students were less consistent than those of students in higher grades, indicating that the YRBS is best suited for students in grade 8 and above.

It is concluded that bicycle safety helmets are highly effective in preventing head injury, particularly important for children, since they suffer the majority of serious head injuries from bicycling accidents.
JAMACarrying Passengers as a Risk Factor for Crashes Fatal to 16- and 17-Year-Old Drivers
531 Citations2000Li-Hui Chen
The data indicate that the risk of fatal injury for a 16- or 17-year-old driver increases with the number of passengers, which supports inclusion of restrictions on carrying passengers in graduated licensing systems for young drivers.

When compared to other state-of-the-art wearable fNIRS systems, where photodiode detectors are employed, the single photon sensitivity and dynamic range of SiPMs can fully exploit the long and variable interoptode distances needed for correct estimation of brain hemodynamics using CW-fN IRS.

137 Citations1990Leonard Evans
The effectiveness of air cushion restraint systems, or airbags, in preventing fatalities is estimated by assuming that they do not affect ejection probability, and protect only in frontal, or near frontal, crashes with impact-reducing effectiveness equal to that of lap/shoulder belts.

129 Citations1994
To characterize more accurately the prevalence of selected health-risk behaviors among adolescents aged 12-19 years who do and do not attend school, CDC analyzed self-reported national data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), conducted as part of the 1992 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS).

120 Citations1999F P Rivara, DianeC. Thompson +1 more
The review of existing studies suggests that primary enforcement laws are likely to be more effective than secondary laws, but few studies are of good quality, and quantitative estimates of the relative effect of primary compared with secondary laws are limited.
Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent MedicineEvaluation of a Statewide Bicycle Helmet Law Via Multiple Measures of Helmet Use
79 Citations1997Hanyu Ni
The law increased helmet use, and although use estimates differ, all helmet surveys showed similar degrees of prelaw and postlaw change; and half of child bicyclists are still not wearing helmets, indicating a need for additional promotion of helmet wearing.
American Journal of Preventive MedicineEvaluation of the effectiveness of low blood alcohol concentration laws for younger drivers
79 Citations1999Craig Zwerling, Michael Jones
Six studies reviewed represent accumulating evidence in support of the effectiveness of low blood alcohol concentration laws among younger drivers, and the largest U.S. study found that laws with lower BAC limits resulted in greater casualty reductions, analogous to a dose response effect.

79 Citations1999Patrick M. O’Malley, Lloyd D. Johnston
Rates of adolescent driving after drinking and riding in a car with a driver who had been drinking declined significantly from the mid-1980s to the early or mid-1990s, but the declines have not continued in recent years.

It is concluded that on scientific grounds, there is support for setting the legal limit for driving at 0.05% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or below.

If all types of injuries to bicyclists are taken into account a helmet might have had an injury-reducing effect in two ofevery five fatal cases and in one of every five nonfatal cases, then to increase the helmet use among bicyclists, a law, as in Australia, would be an excellent instrument.

This law appeared important in increasing reported helmet ownership and use, particularly in black riders, and additional publicity about the law might further increase helmet use.
