About 800 motor vehicle occu pants less than four years old are killed each year and tens of thousands are injured severely enough to require emergency room treatment. Studies have demonstrated that the vast majority of children ride unprotected in motor vehicles. Restrained children are likely to have milder injuries or no injuries at all. One study intimates that seat belts or restraints could reduce injuries up to 70 per cent and deaths up to 90 per cent. Various educational efforts have been attempted to increase restraint and belt use. Most have not worked. Seat belt laws in other countries have been effective in increasing belt use by adults when the laws are enforced. In Tennessee, where a mandatory seat restraint law has been part of a large-scale educational effort, restraint use has increased from an average of 9 per cent prior to the law, to an average of 18.7 per cent in the fall of 1979. Because the problem of motor vehicle-related deaths and injuries is widespread and because legislation holds some promise for amelioration of this problem, pediatricians and public health professionals should work toward the passage of such laws.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000992288102000409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,7,28]],"date-time":"2008-07-28T18:00:38Z","timestamp":1217268038000},"page":"285-290","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Case for Mandatory Seat Restraint Laws"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Jerome A.","family":"Paulson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Rainbow Babies & Childrens Hospital, 2101 Adelbert Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44106"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1981,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","unstructured":"Tennessee Code Annotated: Section 59-930."},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-third Conference of the American Association for Automotive Medicine","author":"Sanders RS"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Passed unanimously at the annual business meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics","author":"American Academy of Pediatrics: Resolution on Child Passenger Safety.","year":"1979"},{"key":"atypb4","volume-title":"Accident Facts, 1979 Edition","author":"National Safety Council","year":"1979"},{"key":"atypb5","volume-title":"Persons injured and disability days detailed by type and class of accident, United States, 1971 and 1972","author":"Wilder D.","year":"1976"},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"Presented at the National Conference on Child Passenger Protection","author":"Baker SP"},{"key":"atypb7","volume-title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Third Conference of the American Association for Automotive Medicine","author":"Baker SP"},{"key":"atypb8","volume-title":"Twenty-Third Stapp Car Crash Conference","author":"Sherz RG"},{"key":"atypb9","volume-title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Third Conference of the American Association for Automotive Medicine","author":"Hall WL"},{"key":"atypb10","first-page":"1311","volume":"130","author":"Williams AF","year":"1976","journal-title":"Am J Dis Child"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1979.03300260018019"},{"key":"atypb12","volume-title":"Presented at the National Conference on Child Passenger Protection","author":"Sherz RG"},{"key":"atypb13","volume-title":"Warning: in cars, parents may be hazardous to their children's health","author":"Williams AF","year":"1978"},{"key":"atypb14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/001872087912210601"},{"key":"atypb15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0001-4575(77)90007-0"},{"key":"atypb16","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.58.1.124","volume":"58","author":"Allen DB","year":"1976","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"atypb17","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"320","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.58.3.320","volume":"58","author":"Kanthor HA","year":"1976","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"atypb18","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"280","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.62.3.280","volume":"62","author":"Reisinger KS","year":"1978","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"atypb19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.64.11.1071"},{"key":"atypb20","volume-title":"Presented at the Child Passenger Safety Conference","author":"Robertson LS"},{"key":"atypb21","volume-title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Third Conference of the American Association for Automotive Medicine","author":"Pierce JA"},{"key":"atypb22","volume-title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Third Conference of the American Association for Automotive Medicine","author":"Sanders RS"}],"container-title":["Clinical Pediatrics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000992288102000409","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000992288102000409","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T16:24:03Z","timestamp":1777393443000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/000992288102000409"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1981,4]]},"references-count":22,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1981,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/000992288102000409"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/000992288102000409","relation":{},"ISSN":["0009-9228","1938-2707"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0009-9228","type":"print"},{"value":"1938-2707","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1981,4]]}}}
