Study finds reduced child fatality rates in states with helmet laws.This study published in the Journal of Pediatrics titled Bicycle Helmet Laws Are Associated with a Lower Fatality Rate from Bicycle-Motor Vehicle Collisions indicates that helmet laws are associated with a lower rate of child deaths. "The mean unadjusted fatality rate was lower in states with helmet laws (2.0/1 000 000 vs 2.5/1 000 000; P = .03). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, lower fatality rates persisted in states with mandatory helmet laws (adjusted incidence rate ratio, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.70-0.98). Conclusion Bicycle helmet safety laws are associated with a lower incidence of fatalities in child cyclists involved in bicycle-motor vehicle collisions." |
