[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST mc09R0xn. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study evaluated the impact of Rhode Island's legislation requiring children younger than 6 years to sa in the reat of motor vehicles. Methods. Roadside observations were conducted in Rhode Island and Massachusetts in 1997 and 1998. Multivariate regression was used to evaluate the propertion of vehicles carrying a child in the front seat. Results. Data were collected on 3226 vehicles carrying at least 1 child. In 1998, Rhode Island vehicles were less likely to have a child in the front seat than in 1997 (odds ratio=0.6,95% confidence interval=0.5,0.7), whereas no significant changes in child passenger seating behavior occurred in Massachusetts during that period. Canclusions. Rhode Island's lation seems to have promoted safer child passenger seating behavior.
