 1INTRODUCTIONHighway safety continues to be a major health problem for children in Mississippi. Eachyear citizens, governmental agencies and private advocacy groups participate in a majoreffort to combat this needless death and injury to our children. Tickets are written tothose who violate the child restraint law. Large numbers of child restraint clinics staffedby highly trained child restraint technicians are provided at no cost to the public. Asizable amount of time, effort and money are devoted to increasing child restraint use.These efforts included media campaigns, brochures, programs, providing free childrestraint seats to those who cannotafford them, etc. In order to helpevaluate the effect of theseprograms, child restraint surveys areconducted in cities in everygeographical area of Mississippi(See Figure 1). The surveys are nottruly scientific, but do provide anoverall raw analysis on childrestraint use in Mississippi. Sincethese surveys are only observationalthey do not provide a measure of the proper use of child restraints,except in a very general way; i.e.,incorrectly placing children in rear-facing seats on the front seat, infront of airbags.These efforts have had gratifyingresults in that child restraint use inMississippi has continued to riseover time. However, in comparisonto other states, child restraint use inMississippi continues to be low andproper restraint use even lower.Figure 1: Surveyed city locations inMississippi shows observational surveysconducted in every portion of the state
