Abstract

Research in the area of injury prevention has shown that legislation combined with education is the most effective way to increase helmet use in child bicyclists. Legislative activities have been proven to reduce injuries. Nurses can join with other interested stakeholders to form community coalitions, to educate the public, and to influence public policy.
