Seat Belts
(Following Excerpt from US Preventive Services
Task Force for page " Counseling
to Prevent Motor Vehicle Injuries ")
Counseling all patients, and the parents of young patients, to use occupant
restraints (lap/shoulder safety belts and child safety seats), to wear helmets
when riding motorcycles, and to refrain from driving while under the influence
of alcohol or other drugs is recommended (see Clinical Intervention). There
is currently insufficient evidence to recommend for or against counseling
patients to prevent pedestrian injuries. See Chapter 58 for recommendations
on the prevention of bicycling injuries.
