To evaluate the impact of the partial repeal of Michigan\u2019s universal motorcycle helmet law on helmet use, fatalities, and head injuries. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. We compared helmet use rates and motorcycle crash fatality risk for the 12 months before and after the April 13, 2012, repeal with a statewide police-reported crash data set. We linked police-reported crashes to injured riders in a statewide trauma registry. We compared head injury before and after the repeal. Regression examined the effect of helmet use on fatality and head injury risk. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. Helmet use decreased in crash (93.2% vs 70.8%; P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001) and trauma data (91.1% vs 66.2%; P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001) after the repeal. Although fatalities did not change overall (3.3% vs 3.2%; P\u2009=\u2009.87), head injuries (43.4% vs 49.6%; P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05) and neurosurgical intervention increased (3.7% vs 6.5%; P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). Male gender (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]\u2009=\u20091.65), helmet nonuse (AOR\u2009=\u20091.84), alcohol intoxication (AOR\u2009=\u200911.31), intersection crashes (AOR\u2009=\u20091.62), and crashes at higher speed limits (AOR\u2009=\u20091.04) increased fatality risk. Helmet nonuse (AOR\u2009=\u20092.31) and alcohol intoxication (AOR\u2009=\u20092.81) increased odds of head injury. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. Michigan\u2019s helmet law repeal resulted in a 24% to 27% helmet use decline among riders in crashes and a 14% increase in head injury. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2016.303525","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,17]],"date-time":"2016-11-17T20:44:44Z","timestamp":1479415484000},"page":"166-172","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["The Impact of Michigan\u2019s Partial Repeal of the Universal Motorcycle Helmet Law on Helmet Use, Fatalities, and Head Injuries"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"107","author":[{"given":"Patrick M.","family":"Carter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Patrick M.
