View Brief Abstract
North Dakota's rural roads are vital social and economic connectors. These roads have a relatively high crash injury risk. Efforts are underway to reduce crash risk, but seat belts offer immediate and low-cost injury protection. A pilot observation study was conducted around the time of the state's annual seat belt campaign to increase knowledge about seat belt use on these roads.
