In 1983 Virginia legislated child safety seat use for children under four years of age riding in motor vehicles. This project explored two major issues: legislative impact on changes in accident statistics for the year immediately following legislation, and community responses to such legislation. The analysis of accident statistics determined changes in death and injury rates for the target age group versus all age groups state-wide and regionally, and explored accident characteristics and correlates for young children injured in accidents. The analysis of community response involved a case study of support programs developed through one community's hospital task force, and a framework for measuring differential community responses to such a mandate. Vehicular casualty rates for children 0-4 dropped 16.5 percent while rising 15.8 percent for all age groups from 1982 to 1983, a pattern consistent across substate regions.
