“…Of these, 10 studies explored the effectiveness of interventions not covered by the RS-10 project; 5 of these assessed the effectiveness of road redesign interventions (Afukaar 2003;Arreola-Rissa et al 2008;Ayati and Shahidian 2007;WHO 2009;Yang 2010) and another 5 reviewed the effectiveness of emergency medical services to road injury victims (Arreola-Risa et al 2004Jayaraman et al 2009). Of the 16 articles that met our inclusion/exclusion criteria, one was excluded due to high participant attrition (45% in Bacchieri et al's [2010] study) and another 2 were excluded because the effectiveness estimates included only intermediate outcomes (Hidalgo-Solorzano et al 2008;Williams et al, 2007). Consequently, 13 studies (Table I) Salvarani et al 2009;Soori et al 2009;Stevenson et al 2008) evaluated the effectiveness of interventions across categories.…”

“…The other half provided estimates for individual interventions. These studies focused mainly on police enforcement, helmets (Espitia-Hardeman et al 2008;Ichikawa et al 2003;Law et al 2005;Passmore et al 2010), seat belts (Harris and Olukoga 2005;Williams et al 2007), drink-driving (Guanche Garcell et al 2008), and speed (Poli de Figueiredo et al 2001). Hence, the number of studies used to develop each estimate was limited due to the lack of evaluative studies in LMICs.…”

Objective: In turn, personal and behavioural characteristics found in drivers who use seat-belts affect general traffic safety. The objective of our study was to determine the risk factors that affect seat-belt use across the observed behaviour-related groups of adult citizens of Slovenia. Methods: Data were collected in late spring 2001, 2004, 2008 and 2012 in a cross-sectional survey, which is conceptually a part of a wider international project in the frame of the Countrywide Integrated Noncommunicable Diseases Intervention (CINDI) Programme. A stratified random sample was drawn from the Central Population Registry of the Republic of Slovenia. Results: The most significant results of our study showed that the important risk factors for seat-belt use in all three periods of examination are as follows: gender, age and education level. We have found seat-belt use in the front and the back car seats among adult citizens of Slovenia to be gradually becoming more and more prevalent. However, there are still a worrisome percentage of people who never use seat-belts. Conclusion: We will thus have to continue implementing existing activities intended to raise awareness and seat-belt use. In particular, planning stages for various public-health measures should see us focussing on at-risk population groups. Further data will have to be obtained in order for us to be able to exactly evaluate behaviour-affecting risk factors (eg psycho-physical wellbeing, use of medicinal products).
