Objectives To quantify the effectiveness of safety education of pedestrians. Design Systematic review of randomised controlled trials of safety education programmes for pedestrians of all ages. Main outcome measures Effect of safety education on pedestrians' injuries, behaviour, attitude, and knowledge and on pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions. Quality of trials: methods of randomisation; and numbers lost to follow up Results We identified 15 randomised controlled trials of safety education programmes for pedestrians. Fourteen trials targeted children, and one targeted institutionalised adults. None assessed the effect of safety education on the occurrence of pedestrian injury, but six trials assessed its effect on behaviour. The effect of pedestrian education on behaviour varied considerably across studies and outcomes. Conclusions Pedestrian safety education can change observed road crossing behaviour, but whether this reduces the risk of pedestrian injury in road traffic crashes is unknown. There is a lack of good evidence of effectiveness of safety education for adult pedestrians, specially elderly people. None of the trials was conducted in low or middle income countries.

“…The Dutch trial followed children up at three months and found that performanceonsomeskills wassignificantly better in the experimental group.2* The German study followed children up at four months and, although experimental group children still performed better than the controls, the performance of all subjects had deteriorated since the completion of the program. 29 In the Scottish trial, children were followed up only three weeks after the initial training, at which point the skills appeared to have been maintained." For educators to have any confidence in the value of these programs, however, they would need to know whether, and in what settings, young children could still demonstrate the target skills in the years following the trainingand prior tothe timeat whichthey could reasonably be expected to acquire them spontaneously.…”

A review of the research methodologies used to evaluate the effectiveness of pedestrian education programs for children is presented in this paper.Since pedestrian injuries are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among young children it is necessary to identify and evaluate intenentions which will reduce the incidence and severity of these injuries. There are, however, many methodological dimculties to be overcome by researchers attempting to establish the merit of such programs. For example, selection bias in school-based programs, lack of strict criteria for follow-up of all subjects, and an inability to control for confounding because relevant variables are not rigorously monitored are just some of the methodological limitations. This paper identifies a number of limitations and aspects of evaluation which are often omitted and suggests ways in which these problems may be addressed in future research.

“…This fact encourages us to implement road safety education programs from an early age, action that affects positively the raising of appropriate behaviors in the future [31]. One of the current challenges to create systematic and effective programs that involves both the school as the family is to reach a high level of integration between these two spheres, that are traditionally isolated or atomized [32].…”

Abstract:Road safety education is, widely, the best base and the greatest assurance of the future in terms of road safety prevention and promotion. Nowadays, RSE constitutes one of the main growing concerns in terms of complimentary education in many countries, taking into account, among other factors, the high rates of accidents that affect the health and welfare of childhood and adolescence. Furthermore, it is a necessity for the community health to create, train, encourage and lead positives attitudes for good road safety education. The general objective of this study was to describe the factors and stakeholders that have influence on the learning of road safety education and safe behaviors of children as road users. The results are very interesting. For example, when to parents have been asked about road safety education of their children, factors such as the parents influence and school environment have been considered as positive factors or stakeholders that influence on the road safety education of the children. Regarding children's opinion, most of the children consider that the drivers do not respect the rules never or sometimes, but only 5% of them believe that their parents do not respect the normative. However, a third part of the children reports signs of road aggression among their parents. Furthermore, 13% of the children do not feel safe when walks by their cities. This study shows the vital importance of the road safety education and key stakeholders, such as parents and the scholar system, to promote safe attitudes, behaviors and outcomes in terms of road safety. Also, the observed behaviors and circumstances related with road behavior of parents have an important influence on children's road safety education, that is crucial issue that must be addressed from different perspectives, due to high accident rates registered by children, who are a key population group to direct interventions in this regard, aiming to increase the effectiveness of interventions for welfare and health improvement, based on the child education.
