英文摘要Use of driver seat belts and availability and functionality of passenger seat belts in a convenience sample of 231 beijing taxis were examined in the months prior to the 2008 beijing olympic games. driver and front passenger seat belt use was mandated in china from 2004 to help address the growing public health crisis of road trauma, results from observations made by in-vehicle passengers revealed that 21.2% of drivers were correctly wearing a belt, approximately half were not, and one third were using the belt in a nonfunctional way. over 3/4 of this sample of taxi drivers were unrestrained while working. the percentage of functionally available belts was higher for front than rear passengers (88.3% and 22.9%, respectively). this low rate of belt availability in rear seats calls into question the preparedness of the fleet to cater for the safety needs of foreign visitors to china, particularly those from countries with high levels of restraint use. factors influencing the use/misuse of seat belts in china remain largely unexplored. results of this pilot study support further investigations of barriers to using injury prevention mechanisms such as seat belts in less motorised countries.
