一个由警方事故报告和医院记录组成的链接数据库被用来比较安全带和酒精的使用。对于这些相关的案件，警方报告的皮带使用率为88.1%;然而，医院记录显示使用率为59.9%。虽然警方高估了安全带的使用率，但他们低估了酒精的参与率。医院记录显示，25.5%的案件涉及酒精;警方报告仅捕获了一小部分酒精案件（占案件总数的8.4%）。除了报告警察和医院报告司机，车辆和碰撞特征之间的不一致的一般模式外，还表明安全带和酒精使用的报告存在重大问题。这项分析是基于1990年来自夏威夷的大约369名司机的综合信息，这些司机有相关的撞车和医院记录。报告提出了一些改进报告质量和准确性的建议。
A linked database composed of police crash reports and hospital records was used to compare seat belt and alcohol use. For these linked cases, the police reported a belt use rate of 88.1 percent; hospital records, however, indicated a use rate of 59.9 percent. Although police overreported the seat belt use rate, they underreported the alcohol involvement rate. Hospital records indicated alcohol involvement in 25.5 percent of the cases; police reporting captured only a fraction of the alcohol cases (8.4 percent of total cases). In addition to reporting the general patterns of inconsistency between police and hospital reporting across driver, vehicle, and crash characteristics, it was shown that there are significant problems associated with reporting of seat belt and alcohol use. The analysis is based on comprehensive information from Hawaii of about 369 drivers with linked crash and hospital records in 1990. Some recommendations for improving the quality and accuracy of reporting are provided.
