The objective of this study was to determine the child occupant restraint use in the state of Michigan through an observational survey. This study, the second yearly survey of restraint use in Michigan, enables the identification of emerging trends; examination and measurement of changes resulting from standard enforcement legislation; and the assessment of the effects of Operation ABC (America Buckles Children), a Public Information and Education (PI&E) program. Analysis of national personal travel data identified schools and non-school sites (fast food restaurants, skating rinks, malls, movie theaters, and recreation centers) as locations frequently visited by children 4 to 15 years of age that were also suitable for an observational study. A stratified random sampling design was developed and 128 sites (4 school and 28 nonschool in each of 4 strata) were sampled. Trained observers visited the sites, located vehicles with target age children, and recorded the occupant restraint use of the children (in all seating positions) and driver the vehicle, along with other descriptive information.
