The total number of students surveyed in the participating schools accounted for approximately 42% of all primary school children. It was estimated that 4% of primary school children ride their bicycle to school. Of the students riding a bicycle to school, 92% wore a helmet. The highest rate of helmet-compliance was reported in Catholic and independent primary schools (100%). Geographically, the lowest rate was reported in the metropolitan Adelaide region (89%). | | Report Number | CASR006 | | Publisher | Centre for Automotive Safety Research | | Publisher City | Adelaide | | Sponsor | Department for Transport and Urban Planning (SA) | | ISBN | 1920947078 | | ISSN | 1449-2237 | | Page Count | 20 |
