Buckling down on buckling up
Study looks at compliance with state's mandatory seatbelt laws
By Laura Woodward Kansan staff writer
Adeyanju, assistant professor of health, physical education and recreation, spent from July 1987 to July 1988 studying motorists and their compliance with Kansas' mandatory seat belt law.
"The state did a very good job of educating the general public about the law," he said. "But we still have a long way to go. Although we are capable of getting people to comply with the law, we are not doing excellently."
Matthew Adeyanju thinks motorists still need convincing to buckle up.
Kansas' mandatory seat belt law went into effect on July 1, 1987. Under Kansas law, failure to wear a seat belt carries a maximum fine of $10 for front seat occupants. But front seat occupants may be issued a ticket for non-compliance only if the vehicle is stopped for another reason.
During the 12-month study, about 16,500 drivers and front seat passengers were observed for seat belt use. About 2,500 motorists were interviewed about their seat belt habits and beliefs.
Of those interviewed, 66 percent who were 50 or older said they regularly ate at a restaurant and 59 percent who were 35 to 49 years old, and 51 percent of those 16 to 34.
About 47 percent of the motorsists observed in July of 1988 were wearing seat belts. This was an increase of about 10 percent from July of 1987, when the seat belt law went into effect.
Adeyanu grouped the state in three categories for his study: metropolitan areas including Kansas City, Kan., and Topeka; medium-sized cities including Lawrence and Salina; small cities including Baldwin and Paola.
The study was financed by a $5,000 New Faculty Award from the University's general research fund.
Wayne Osness, department chairman of health, physical education and recreation, said faculty research was important in his department.
Adeyanju also found that more females, 60.4 percent, used seat belts regularly than do males, 45.9 percent.
"I stationed observers at various intersections," Adeyani said. "In Lawrence, we observed at 23rd Street and Massachusetts Street and two other intersections. We looked to see if motorists were buckled up. If we couldn't make a judgment, we ignored the car."
Only about 37 percent of the motorists questioned said they wear seat belts because it is the law. A number of those interviewed who regularly wear seat belts said they favor stiffer enforcement of the law.
One surprising statistic is that 15 percent of the motorists interviewed said they never would comply with the law. Adevanji said.
"It's important in many ways, but primarily we are interested in faculty members being involved with research," Ossmead said. "Research such as Adeyanju's add knowledge in the health sciences. It is especially important because we are currently seeking doctoral status."
"What we need to do is to target these 15 percent," he said.
