Seat belt use was statistically significantly lower for non-Hispanic African Americans than other race and ethnicity groups among passenger vehicle occupants age 25 to 69 traveling with children in 2007. This result is from the National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats (NSUBS), the only probability- based nationwide survey that observes seat belt use and collects race and ethnicity. The NSUBS is conducted by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The 2007 NSUBS also found that seat belt use was lower for Hispanics than non-Hispanics among passenger vehicle occupants age 25 to 69 traveling with children. Please note that by design and necessity, the NSUBS survey only collects restraint us of vehicle occupants who are transporting or riding with children under age 13 to a restricted set of site types such as gas stations, day care centers, recreation centers, and restaurants in five fast-food chains, not of all vehicle occupants on the road.
