PW 0698 Empowering states to prevent Motor Vehicle injuries—tools from the CDC
Abstracts, 2018Co-Authors: Erin K Sauber-schatz, Ann M. Dellinger, Gwen Bergen, Holly C Billie, Grant T. BaldwinAbstract:Every day in the United States, over 100 people are killed and thousands more injured in Motor Vehicle crashes. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control works to prevent Motor Vehicle crash injuries and their resulting public health and economic burden. In traffic safety, translating research findings into actionable products is a top priority. In the U.S., many of the traffic safety strategies are implemented at the state level. One focus of CDC’s Transportation Safety Team is to create tools and products to empower states, decision makers, and partners to make data-driven and evidence-based decisions for prevention. These tools address a range of state needs and include an online cost-effectiveness calculator, implementation guides for community, tribal, and state programs, a mobility planning tool for older adults, and fact sheets covering a range of topics. As one example, the older adult mobility planning tool was created to help older adults, beginning at age 60, plan for future mobility changes that might increase their risk for Motor Vehicle crashes and falls. The planning tool was developed based on the trans-theoretical stages of change and iterative testing with older adults. The tool helps older adults think through how they will remain Injury free and mobile as they age. This presentation will provide an overview of recent trends in Motor Vehicle crash injuries and deaths in the United States, CDC’s role in road safety, and of the various CDC tools, prevention products, and state implementation efforts. CDC’s Transportation Safety Team encourages the use of proven strategies for Motor Vehicle crash Injury prevention. Supporting Motor Vehicle Injury prevention in the U.S. ultimately supports global road safety targets including the Decade of Action for Road Safety and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development targets 3.6 and 11.2.

Motor Vehicle Injury Prevention — United States and 19 Comparison Countries
2016Co-Authors: Erin K Sauber-schatz, Ann M. Dellinger, David J Ederer, Grant T. BaldwinAbstract:Each year >32,000 deaths and 2 million nonfatal injuries occur on U.S. roads. CDC analyzed 2000 and 2013 data compiled by the World Health Organization and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to determine the number and rate of Motor Vehicle crash deaths in the United States and 19 other high-income OECD countries and analyzed estimated seat belt use and the percentage of deaths that involved alcohol-impaired driving or speeding, by country. In 2013, the United States Motor Vehicle crash death rate of 10.3 per 100,000 population had decreased 31% from the rate in 2000; among the 19 comparison countries, the rate had declined an average of 56% during this time. Among all 20 countries, the United States had the highest rate of crash deaths per 100,000 population (10.3); the highest rate of crash deaths per 10,000 registered Vehicles (1.24), and the fifth highest rate of Motor Vehicle crash deaths per 100 million Vehicle miles traveled (1.10). Among countries for which information on national seat belt use was available, the United States ranked 18th out of 20 for front seat use, and 13th out of 18 for rear seat use. Among 19 countries, the United States reported the second highest percentage of Motor Vehicle crash deaths involving alcohol-impaired driving (31%), and among 15, had the eighth highest percentage of crash deaths that involved speeding (29%). Motor Vehicle injuries are predictable and preventable. Lower death rates in other high-income countries, as well as a high prevalence of risk factors in the United States, suggest that the United States can make more progress in reducing crash deaths. With a projected increase in U.S. crash deaths in 2015, the time is right to reassess U.S. progress and set new goals. By implementing effective strategies, including those that increase seat belt use and reduce alcohol-impaired driving and speeding, the United States can prevent thousands of Motor Vehicle crash-related injuries and deaths and hundreds of millions of dollars in direct medical costs every year.

0063 Motor Vehicle prioritising interventions and cost calculator for states (mv piccs): an online tool to calculate the costs and effectiveness of selected policies to reduce fatalities and injuries from Motor Vehicle crashes
Injury Prevention, 2015Co-Authors: Erin K Sauber-schatz, Liisa Ecola, Jeanne S. Ringel, Johanna ZmudAbstract:Statement of purpose Develop a new tool to help states and communities make evidence-based resource allocation decisions relating to the implementation of lesser used but effective Motor Vehicle Injury prevention interventions. The interactive on line tool, Motor Vehicle Prioritising Interventions and Cost Calculator for States (MV PICCS), can assess state-specific costs and the effects of implementing up to 12 different interventions designed to prevent Motor Vehicle injuries and deaths. MV PICCS should help states understand the tradeoffs and prioritise the most cost-effective interventions to reduce Motor Vehicle deaths and injuries. Methods/Approach This project included five steps: Intervention Selection. Selecting evidence-based interventions that are not widely used, based on systematic reviews and evaluated against a set of pre-determined criteria. Implementation Cost Estimation. Developing a methodology to estimate the cost components and sub-components and scaling the costs to the state level. Literature Review on Effectiveness. Examining existing literature to estimate the effectiveness of the interventions on reducing injuries and fatalities. Estimation of Costs to States. Estimating the costs of Motor Vehicle injuries at the national level to account for state-level variation in these costs. Online Tool Development. Results MV PICCS was released October 7, 2014 at: http://www.cdc.gov/MotorVehiclesafety/calculator and is available for use to help states decide on interventions to implement that have the most impact on reducing injuries, deaths, and costs. Conclusions MV PICCS has the potential to be of great use to state health departments, departments of transportation, and decision makers for Motor Vehicle Injury prevention. Significance and contribution to the field This is the first effort to estimate the implementation costs and benefits across a broad array of lesser-used interventions and to translate these costs and benefits to facilitate informed decision making.

Seat belt use, counseling and Motor-Vehicle Injury during pregnancy: Results from a multi-state population-based survey
Maternal and Child Health Journal, 2007Co-Authors: Hulya Sirin, Erin K Sauber-schatz, Harold B. Weiss, Kari DunningAbstract:OBJECTIVES: Motor-Vehicle injuries are the leading cause of death and hospitalized trauma during pregnancy. The study objectives were to report the prevalence of seat belt counseling by prenatal care providers during pregnancy, seat belt use during the last trimester, and self-reported Motor-Vehicle Injury during pregnancy. Differences were examined by age, race and education. METHODS: A cross-sectional study design using self-reported 22 state data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2001 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) were used (n = 37,081). Estimates were computed using logistic regression from weighted counts. RESULTS: On average, reported prenatal care provider counseling for seat belt use occurred in 48.7% (38.2-58.8%) of prenatal visits. Women most likely to report being counseled were aged 20-29, non-White, Hispanic ethnicity, and less educated. Women 30 years of age or greater and that had a greater than high school education were more likely to report always wearing seat belts in the last trimester. On average, 2.3% (1.2-4.7%) of respondents reported being hurt in a "car accident" during pregnancy. Women less than 20 years old (3.0%), Black (3.9%), and less educated (3.2%) were the most likely to report being hurt in a crash during pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS: Based on PRAMS, it is estimated that about 92,500 pregnant women are hurt annually in Motor-Vehicle crashes in the United States. Despite this reported risk and the proven efficacy of restraint use, most pregnant women do not report being counseled about seat belt use during prenatal visits. Limitations of PRAMS methodology make it difficult to determine the association of prenatal counseling with seat belt use.

risky driving habits and Motor Vehicle driver Injury
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2005Co-Authors: Stephanie Blows, Shanthi Ameratunga, Rebecca Ivers, Robyn NortonAbstract:Risky driving is an important cause of Motor Vehicle Injury, but there is a lack of good epidemiological data in this field, particularly data comparing risky driving in younger drivers to those of other age groups. We examined the relationship between risky driving habits, prior traffic convictions and Motor Vehicle Injury using cross-sectional data amongst 21,893 individuals in New Zealand, including 8029 who were aged 16-24 years. Those who reported frequently racing a Motor Vehicle for excitement or driving at 20 km/h or more over the speed limit, and those who had received traffic convictions over the past 12 months, were between two and four times more likely to have been injured while driving over the same time period. Driving unlicensed was a risk factor for older but not younger drivers, and driving at 20 km/h or more above the speed limits was a stronger risk factor for younger (<25 years) than older drivers. These results confirm the need for interventions targeting risky driving and suggest that different strategies may be required for different high-risk groups.

Challenges in Motor Vehicle safety.
Annual Review of Public Health, 2001Co-Authors: Patricia F. WallerAbstract:▪ Abstract Reductions in Motor Vehicle Injury and death represent a major public health success. Since the advent of the federal program in highway safety in 1966, Motor Vehicle deaths have dropped dramatically, not only in rates per miles driven but also in absolute numbers. Key to this success has been the broad-based comprehensive approach promoted by the program's first administrator, a public health physician. The federal program provided leadership and coordination that leveraged national, state, and local programs to bring about safer Vehicles, improved traffic records, more effective enforcement, enormously improved emergency medical services, more responsible judicial systems, and many other accomplishments. Although progress has been made on many fronts, major areas addressed here include federal Motor Vehicle safety standards, alcohol safety programs, occupant restraint laws and usage, and speed limits. The achievements in Motor Vehicle safety provide a model for other Injury control efforts.

Public health's contribution to Motor Vehicle Injury prevention.
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2001Co-Authors: Patricia F. WallerAbstract:The article reviews the changes that have taken place in Motor Vehicle Injury prevention. If we were still experiencing fatalities at the rate they occurred in 1966, there would have been about 147,000 such deaths in 1999, instead of the actual 41,611 that occurred. Credit is given to the research community that generated evidence of drinking and driving long before changes happened in public policy. The evidence on occupant restraints began accumulating as soon as safety belts were first available in passenger Vehicles. Citizens action groups provided the impetus for major changes in public policy governing drinking and driving. Remarkable progress has been made, but 41,000 deaths annually are still far too many. New opportunities are developing with the advent of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). ITS technologies hold promise for greatly enhancing the safety and efficiency of gaining access to goods and services needed for optimal development of individual and community potential.
