Safety belt use was observed for 7,384 vehicle occupants estimated as 15-19 year old in four states--Texas, Virginia, Idaho, and Mississippi. Age and other pertinent information was obtained from 2,330 teen occupants. Belt use ranged from 19.5 percent in Yazoo City, Mississippi to 57.6 percent in Charlottesville, Virgina. Teen more likely to be belted were: drivers, females, occupants of passenger cars, younger, had taken driver education, and lived in larger cities. Very few teens wore safety belts in the back seat. They were more likely to buckle up on the highway, and less likely to buckle up for a recreational and short, local trips. Teen pasengers tended to make their restraint decision on a conditional basis more often than teen drivers.
