PROBLEM/CONDITION: Motor-vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death in the
United States. Compared with urban residents, rural residents are at an increased
risk for death from crashes and are less likely to wear seat belts. These
differences have not been well described by levels of rurality. REPORTING PERIOD:
2014. DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEMS: Data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System
(FARS) and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) were used to
identify passenger-vehicle-occupant deaths from motor-vehicle crashes and
estimate the prevalence of seat belt use. FARS, a census of U.S. motor-vehicle
crashes involving one or more deaths, was used to identify
passenger-vehicle-occupant deaths among adults aged ?18 years. Passenger-vehicle
occupants were defined as persons driving or riding in passenger cars, light
trucks, vans, or sport utility vehicles. Death rates per 100,000 population,
age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population and the proportion of occupants
who were unrestrained at the time of the fatal crash, were calculated. BRFSS, an
annual, state-based, random-digit-dialed telephone survey of the
noninstitutionalized U.S. civilian population aged ?18 years, was used to
estimate prevalence of seat belt use. FARS and BRFSS data were analyzed by a
six-level rural-urban designation, based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture
2013 rural-urban continuum codes, and stratified by census region and type of
state seat belt enforcement law (primary or secondary). RESULTS: Within each
census region, age-adjusted passenger-vehicle-occupant death rates per 100,000
population increased with increasing rurality, from the most urban to the most
rural counties: South, 6.8 to 29.2; Midwest, 5.3 to 25.8; West, 3.9 to 40.0; and
Northeast, 3.5 to 10.8. (For the Northeast, data for the most rural counties were
not reported because of suppression criteria; comparison is for the most urban to
the second-most rural counties.) Similarly, the proportion of occupants who were
unrestrained at the time of the fatal crash increased as rurality increased.
Self-reported seat belt use in the United States decreased with increasing
rurality, ranging from 88.8% in the most urban counties to 74.7% in the most
rural counties. Similar differences in age-adjusted death rates and seat belt use
were observed in states with primary and secondary seat belt enforcement laws.
INTERPRETATION: Rurality was associated with higher age-adjusted
passenger-vehicle-occupant death rates, a higher proportion of unrestrained
passenger-vehicle-occupant deaths, and lower seat belt use among adults in all
census regions and regardless of state seat belt enforcement type. PUBLIC HEALTH
ACTIONS: Seat belt use decreases and age-adjusted passenger-vehicle-occupant
death rates increase with increasing levels of rurality. Improving seat belt use
remains a critical strategy to reduce crash-related deaths in the United States,
especially in rural areas where seat belt use is lower and age-adjusted death
rates are higher than in urban areas. States and communities can consider using
evidence-based interventions to reduce rural-urban disparities in seat belt use
and passenger-vehicle-occupant death rates.
