Abstract

Nearly 50,000 persons are killed and 5 million are injured on the nation's highways each year. Motor vehicle injuries produce enormous costs for society. The use of motor vehicle safety restraints can substantially reduce death, disabilities and expenses associated with crashes. Primary care physicians have an important role in educating patients about the benefits of correct and consistent use of safety restraints.
