Abstract This study combined direct observation of seat belt use with interview methods to identify factors related to seat belt use in a state with a mandatory seat belt use law. Trained observers recorded restraint use for a probability sample of motorists traveling on roads throughout the State of Michigan. Roadside interviews of 1,864 drivers measured sociodemographic, situational, attitudinal, normative, and behavioral characteristics related to seat belt use.
