| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS QbPR0xaB. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : To assess the impact of a community based bicycle helmet programme aimed at children aged 5-12 years (about 140 000) from poor and well off municipalities. Methods : A quasi-experimental design, including a control group, was used. Changes in the risk of bicycle related head injuries leading to hospitalisation were measured, using rates ratios. Results : Reductions in bicycle related head injuries were registered in both categories of municipalities. Compared with the pre-programme period, the protective effect of the programme during the post-programme period was as significant among children from poor municipalities (RR=0.45 95% CI 0.26 to 0.78) as among those from richer municipalities (RR=0.55 95% CI 0.41 to 0.75). Conclusion : Population based educational programmes may have a favourable impact on injury risks in poor areas despite lower adoption of protective behaviours. |
