Reducing traffic violations in minority localities: Designing a traffic enforcement program through a public participation process
2018, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Their broadly shared culture may have made these observers more sensitive to subtle nonverbal social cues and gestures, thereby supporting more accurate coding (see, e.g., Meissner and Brigham, 2001; Elfenbein and Ambady, 2002; Jackiw et al., 2008; Bente et al., 2010). The observers received intensive classroom and in-the-field training designed to ensure that the coding of all observers would be reliable (Decina et al., 1994; Stanojević et al., 2013). During the training, a master’s-level graduate student supervisor and trainees made observations on the same vehicles; trainees were then corrected and retrained until a point where all observers produced consistent coding for several consecutive vehicles.

2005, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :To support the high level of enforcement activities, transport authorities in Australia also engaged in intensive publicity campaigns. The use of mass media campaigns in road safety is neither new nor unique to Australia (Berkowitz and Cottingham, 1960; Beach, 1966; Griep, 1970; Farmer, 1974; Kohn et al., 1982; Grunig and Ipes, 1983; Williams and Lund, 1987; Atkins, 1989; King and Reid, 1990; Koenig and Wu, 1994; Decina et al., 1994; Ben-Ari et al., 2000). Traditionally, road safety publicity campaigns relied mainly on donated media and thus experienced limited success because they were produced with limited budget and marketing research, and were frequently aired during undesirable time slots that were not sold (Murray et al., 1993; Salmon, 1989).
Community-based programs to promote car seat restraints in children 0-16 years - A systematic review
2005, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :While many of the pre-program restraint use figures start from a low base, the effect of the intervention is reported to make public health gains in all instances. Of concern is the methodological quality of the evaluation of some of the programs (Decina et al., 1994; Istre et al., 2002; Ekman et al., 2001). Strengths of this review are that it collects for the first time the evidence-base justifying what has become a widely practiced approach to injury prevention and enables this evidence to be judged on its merits.
