简要总结
The main aim of this intervention study is to test the hypothesis if helmet initiative program will significantly increase helmet usage in primary school students. The secondary aim of this intervention is to evaluate the behavioral change in standard child safety helmet usage among the parent/adult riders. The study was conducted in 23 primary school in Selangor from 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2018 in three different phases.
详细描述
In Malaysia, the road traffic plans estimated that the number of death on road traffics might increase almost 23% from 2014-2020 (Royal Police of Malaysia, 2017). The main road crash involved the motorcyclist and the main cause of death was due to the severe head injuries. Previous study in Malaysia had reported only 20% of proper helmet usage among the adult riders (Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research, 2015). This highlights the need to transfer the knowledge to the parent/adult riders on the importance, proper usage and availability of the standard child safety helmet and hence increase the prevalence of standard helmet usage for the pillion riders especially for the children.

研究组 & 干预措施
intervention
the group
- assessed for proper helmet usage (type, chinstrap, standard helmet usage)
- evaluated for the behavioral of helmet usage
- underwent the educational session under helmet initiative program
- received one standard motorcycle child safety helmet per family
- assessed for proper helmet usage (type, chinstrap, standard helmet usage) 3 months after educational session and after received standard motorcycle child safety helmet
- evaluated for the behavioral of helmet usage 3 months after educational session and after received standard motorcycle child safety helmet
干预措施: Standard motorcycle child safety helmet (Behavioral)
control
the group

结局指标
主要结局
There will be increase in the prevalence of standard motorcycle child safety helmet usage in post intervention compared to pre-intervention
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 1 year
1. There will be increase in the prevalence of standard motorcycle child safety helmet usage among primary school students after the educational session under helmet initiative program as well as after the distribution of standard motorcycle child safety helmets. 2. The educational session under helmet initiative program will provide important information about the risks of riding without standard helmet include the severity of injury to children. This will be an effective effort for continuous usage of standard helmet among child pillion riders 3. Distribution of standard motorcycle child safety helmets will be able to increase the ownership of standard child helmet especially among those who; hence will increase the prevalence of standard motorcycle child safety helmet usage
次要结局
- There will be increase in the prevalence of proper standard motorcycle safety helmet usage in post intervention compared to pre-intervention(through study completion, an average of 1 year)
- There will be increase in mean score of parents' knowledge measured using questionnaire in standard motorcycle child safety helmet usage in post intervention compared to pre-intervention(through study completion, an average of 1 year)
