A hospital led promotion campaign aimed to increase bicycle helmet wearing among children aged 11–15 living in West Berkshire 1992–98
Objectives—To evaluate the effect of a bicycle helmet promotion campaign on helmet wearing among cyclists less than 16 years of age from 1992–98. Setting—Reading, West Berkshire, UK. Methods—A hospital led bicycle helmet promotion campaign targeted at 5–15 year olds. The campaign focused on education with active involvement of the children, parents, schools, and safety organisations. Local media and children's celebrities raised the profile of the campaign and a low cost helmet purchase scheme was also set up. A self administered questionnaire survey of 3000, 11–15 year olds was carried out over the period of the campaign. A control group of 3000 teenagers was obtained from a neighbouring area without a helmet campaign. Accident and emergency (A&E) figures were obtained from the local hospital within the campaign area on all children aged under 16 years, attending with bicycle injuries. Unfortunately, no figures were available from the A&E department in the control area. Results—Self reported helmet use among 11–15 years olds living in the campaign area increased from 11% at the start of the campaign to 31% after five years (p<0.001), with no change in the control group. Hospital casualty figures in the campaign area for cycle related head injuries in the under 16 years age group, fell from 112.5/100 000 to 60.8/100 000 (from 21.6% of all cycle injuries to 11.7%; p<0.005). Conclusions—This hospital led community bicycle helmet promotion campaign directed at young people showed an increase in the number of children reporting that they "always" wore their helmet while cycling. There was a significantly higher rate of helmet wearing than in the control area, and a significant reduction in head injuries.

机译:目的-评价自行车头盔推广活动对1992-98年间未满16岁的骑自行车者戴头盔的影响。设置-英国西伯克郡雷丁。方法-针对5至15岁儿童的医院领导的自行车头盔促销活动。该运动集中在儿童,父母,学校和安全组织的积极参与下的教育。当地媒体和儿童名人提高了运动的知名度,还制定了低成本头盔购买计划。在整个运动期间,对3000名11至15岁的年轻人进行了自我管理的问卷调查。从附近地区获得了3000名青少年的对照组,没有进行头盔运动。事故和紧急情况(A&E)数据是从活动区域内的当地医院获得的,年龄在16岁以下的所有自行车受伤儿童。不幸的是,控制区域的急诊部门没有可用的数据。结果-在运动区居住的11-15岁儿童中,自我报告的头盔使用率从运动开始时的11%增加到五年后的31%(p <0.001),对照组没有变化。在16岁以下年龄组中,与自行车相关的头部受伤战役区域中的医院伤亡人数从112.5 / 10万下降到60.8 / 10万(从所有自行车损伤中的21.6%降至11.7%; p <0.005)。结论:该医院针对年轻人开展的社区自行车头盔推广运动表明,报告他们“骑自行车”时始终戴头盔的儿童人数有所增加。与控制区域相比,头盔的佩戴率显着更高,并且头部受伤明显减少。
