It was a pre-post, quasi-experimental evaluation with a matched comparison group. Road traffic injuries were significantly reduced in the intervention schools-especially among school-age pedestrians-but not in the comparison schools. The SRTS program significantly improved road safety among children. (Am J Public Health. Published online ahead of print February 23, 2023:e1-e5. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.307216).
