Liller, Karen D.; Morissette, Brenda; Noland, Virginia; McDermott, Robert J.
Journal of School Health, v68 n8 p325-28 Oct 1998
Examined middle school students' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding bicycle helmet use. Surveys indicated that most rode bicycles but did not use helmets, despite understanding their protective capabilities, because of poor peer support and helmet design. There was a positive relationship between helmet ownership and use. Most students did not know or believe that bicycle helmet laws existed. (SM)
