目的：本文的目的是评估儿童乘客安全资源（儿童乘客安全技术人员[CPSTs]，汽车座椅检查，儿童约束系统[CRS]分布程序）和儿童人口之间的匹配，在密歇根州利用地理信息系统的方法和分析的影响，密歇根州的CPSTs对儿童乘客安全行为的偏离从一个座位check.Methods：数据收集从行政来源和CPSTs的调查，以确定儿童乘客安全资源和儿童在密歇根州的数量和位置。主要分析使用了2014年的数据。根据人口普查数据确定每个县和每个交通安全区的≤4岁儿童人口。CPST和汽车座椅检查位置是根据密歇根州公路安全规划办公室（Mi-OHSP）的一份名单和对协调座椅检查的CPST的调查确定的。Mi-OHSP的汇总表作为通过其乘员保护计划分发的CRS的数据源。儿童乘客安全检查表的数据来自密歇根州的安全儿童。使用Google地图地理编码API对地址进行地理编码，然后使用ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1在县一级进行地图绘制。结果：2014年，密歇根州有570，929名4岁以下儿童，979名CPST在209个已知的座位检查点工作。密歇根州安全儿童联盟每年平均检查6,854个座位。除3个地区外，其他所有地区都达到了中等服务水平，即每5,000名4岁以下儿童中有一名或多名提供座位检查。83个县中有80个县至少有一个CPST（中位数5;四分位数间距，2，10.5）。假设密歇根CPST平均每年提供10小时的服务，除2个地区外，所有地区都达到了每90名≤4岁儿童至少1个技术员小时的中等服务水平。就座位检查次数而言，达到基本服务水平的地区较少。近一半（49.5%）的安全儿童密歇根州座位检查导致在儿童乘客的安全behaviors.Conclusions的变化：在密歇根州的儿童乘客安全资源分布不均，但大多数地区和县满足中间水平的服务。将资源重新分配给提供基本服务水平的地区可以帮助减少儿童乘客安全行为的差异。
Objective:The purpose of this article was to assess the match between child passenger safety resources (child passenger safety technicians [CPSTs], car seat checks, and child restraint system [CRS] distribution programs) and the child population in Michigan by utilizing geographic information systems approaches and to analyze the impact of Michigan’s CPSTs on child passenger safety behaviors on departure from a seat check.Methods:Data were collected from administrative sources and a survey of CPSTs to determine the number and location of child passenger safety resources and children in Michigan. The main analyses used data from 2014. The child population ≤4 years old per county and per traffic safety region was determined from census data. CPST and car seat check locations were determined from a list from the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning (Mi-OHSP) and a survey of CPSTs who coordinate seat checks. Summary sheets from Mi-OHSP served as the data source for CRSs distributed through their occupant protection program. Data from child passenger safety checklists completed with seat checks were obtained from Safe Kids Michigan. Addresses were geocoded using Google Maps Geocoding API and then mapped at the county level using ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1. Descriptive statistics were calculated and levels of service were determined at the county and regional levels.Results:In 2014, there were 570,929 children ≤4 years old in Michigan and 979 CPSTs who worked at 209 known seat check locations. An average of 6,854 seats was checked per year through Safe Kids Michigan Coalitions. All but 3 regions met an intermediate service level for seat check locations by offering one or more per 5,000 children ≤4 years old. There was at least one CPST in 80 of 83 counties (median 5; interquartile range, 2, 10.5). Assuming that an average Michigan CPST provides 10 h of service each year, all but 2 regions reached an intermediate service level of at least one technician hour per 90 children ≤4 years old. Fewer regions reached a basic level of service for the number of seat checks. Almost half (49.5%) of Safe Kids Michigan seat checks resulted in a change in child passenger safety behaviors.Conclusions:Child passenger safety resources in Michigan are not evenly distributed yet most regions and counties meet intermediate levels of service. Reallocating resources to areas that are providing basic levels of service could help reduce disparities in child passenger safety behaviors.
