The report measures intermediate-term effects of Michigan's safety belt law. Monthly frequencies of crash-induced injuries and fatalities from January 1978 through December 1987 were analyzed using time-series methods. Exposure to injury risk was controlled by including aggregate frequency of crashes as a covariate in time-series models. Effects of economic conditions on traffic crashes were controlled by including an index of unemployment as a covariate in the models. Based on results, Michigan's adult safety belt law from July 1985 through December 1988 has prevented 31,710 injuries.
