近年来，美国许多州和地方都颁布了自行车头盔法。我们估计这些法律对需要急诊治疗的伤害的影响。使用医院层面的面板数据和三差模型，我们发现头盔法律与儿童中与自行车相关的头部损伤的减少有关。然而，法律也与减少非头部骑行伤害以及增加其他轮式运动的头部伤害有关。因此，观察到的与自行车相关的头部损伤的减少可能是由于法律导致的骑自行车的减少。版权所有©2013 John Wiley & Sons， Ltd
In recent years, many states and localities in the USA have enacted bicycle helmet laws. We estimate the effects of these laws on injuries requiring emergency department treatment. Using hospital‐level panel data and triple difference models, we find helmet laws are associated with reductions in bicycle‐related head injuries among children. However, laws also are associated with decreases in non‐head cycling injuries, as well as increases in head injuries from other wheeled sports. Thus, the observed reduction in bicycle‐related head injuries may be due to reductions in bicycle riding induced by the laws. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
