本研究评估了新南威尔士州约束安装站网络在防止不正确使用面向后和面向前的儿童约束的有效性。在澳大利亚新南威尔士州的一项横断面生态研究中，当儿童到达观察点时，随机观察他们使用束缚的方式。训练有素的研究人员在孩子离开车辆后检查了约束系统的安装。我们还对司机进行了结构化访谈。使用逻辑回归来检验父母报告是否在约束装配站检查约束与约束是否被正确使用之间的关系。同时控制潜在的混杂因素和考虑复杂的样本设计。计算比值比（ORs）和95%置信区间（as）。结果表明，未使用约束装置站的答复者的儿童不正确使用约束装置的可能性是使用约束装置站儿童的1.8倍（95% CI 1.1-2.8）。无论是否使用过约束装配站，随着约束拥有时间的增加，不正确使用约束的可能性越来越大（or 1.3, 95% CI 1.0-1.7）。这些结果对于制定旨在通过减少不正确的约束使用率来减少儿童乘员伤亡的战略，以及鼓励使用约束安装站和类似服务作为不正确使用对策的支持计划具有重要意义。(C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This study evaluated the effectiveness of the NSW Restraint Fitting Station Network in preventing incorrect use of rearward facing and forward facing child restraints.The way children used restraints was observed randomly as they arrived at observation sites during a cross-sectional ecological study across New South Wales, Australia. Trained researchers examined restraint system installation once the child left the vehicle. A structured interview was also conducted with the driver. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between parental report of ever having the restraint checked at a Restraint Fitting Station and whether or not the restraint was used correctly. while controlling for potential confounders and accounting for the complex sample design. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (as) were calculated.The results demonstrated that children of respondents who did not use Restraint Fitting Stations were 1.8 times more likely to be incorrectly using their restraints (95% CI 1.1-2.8) than children of Restraint Fitting Station users. Regardless of whether or not a Restraint Fitting Station had been used, there was a trend towards a greater likelihood of incorrect restraint use as the length of restraint ownership increased (OR 1.3 95% CI 1.0-1.7).These results are important for developing strategies aimed at reducing child occupant casualties by reducing the rate of incorrect restraint use, and support programs encouraging the use of Restraint Fitting Stations and similar services as a countermeasure to incorrect use.
