The study combined direct observation of seat belt use with interview methods to identify factors related to seat belt use in a state with a mandatory seat belt use law. Trained observers recorded restraint use for a probability sample of motorists traveling on roads throughout the State of Michigan. Roadside interviews of 1,864 drivers measured sociodemographic, situational, attitudinal, normative, and behavioral characteristics related to seat belt use. Selected sociodemographic characteristics which are not susceptible to change, as well as crash experience and safety attitudes that are difficult to modify, were related to belt use. Results also indicated that seat belt use was lower than average among: (1) males, (2) individuals with lower socioeconomic status, (3) those of minority ethnic backgrounds, (4) those below age 30, (5) alcoholic beverage drinkers who drink to intoxication or while driving, (6) drivers in urban environments, and (7) married individuals below age 25.
