This study examined the effect of carefully developed safety belt messages on observed belt usage. The overall findings were disappointing in that there was no observable effect of the messages on observed safety belt usage. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in observed belt usage as a function of age, race, or sex. Observed belt usage was associated with greater reported frequency of eye examinations but was not related to other reported health maintenance behaviors.
