Determinants of certified motorcycle helmet use among postal delivery riders at rural areas in Peninsular Malaysia
2019, IATSS ResearchCitation Excerpt :Motorcycle helmets are the most effective tool to prevent head injuries [15,16]. The efficacy of motorcycle helmets in preventing head injuries has been proven through studies conducted globally [15,17–20]. Research has shown that the proper wearing of motorcycle helmets significantly reduces head injuries in the event of a crash [21–24].

2005, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :The first approach examines the effect of the enforcement or the repeal of helmet laws on motorcycle fatalities using state or provincial data. Earlier research (Roberson, 1976; Watson et al., 1980; Chenier and Evans, 1987; Ulmer and Preusser, 2002) simply compares the fatality rates between states with and without helmet laws. The fatality rates in states with helmet laws are estimated to be 25–38% lower than those states without helmet laws.
