Background: In 2005, 40% of motor-vehicle occupant deaths in the group aged 16-19 years involved passengers. Although seatbelts can reduce crash mortality by 50% or more, little is known about the differences in driver-versus-passenger seatbelt use among teens.Methods: In 2007, data from the 2001 and 2003 Youth Risk Behavior Sirveys were analyzed for 12,731 black, white, and Hispanic high school students aged : >= 16 years reporting seatbelt use as both drivers and passengers. Seatbelt use was compared for driver- and passenger-seat positions, and stratified by age, gender, race/ethnicity, school grades, and histories of either drinking and driving or riding with a drinking driver.Results: Overall, 59% of students always used seatbelts when driving, but only 42% always buckled Lip as passengers. Across all covariate strata, passenger seatbelt use was significantly less prevalent than driver seatbelt use (P= 16 years are significantly less likely to wear seatbelts as passengers than as drivers. Interventions designed to promote seatbelt use among teens need to address this disparity.
