Supplementary Notes An agency staff review of an existing Federal regulation performed in response to Executive Order 12291. 16. Abstract Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 207 specifies strength requirements for automotive seats and their attachment assemblies, so as to minimize the possibility of their failure by forces acting on them as a result of vehicle impact. The standard includes a requirement that front seats with folding seatbacks be equipped with a locking device, designed to limit the forward motion of the seatback in a collision and to keep the seatback away from front seat occupants. These seat back locks were installed in domestic two-door passenger cars during 1967-68. The objectives of this preliminary evaluation are to determine if seat back locks are effective in reducing deaths or injuries and to measure the actual cost of the locks. The evaluation is based on statistical analyses of Washington, Texas, New York, Fatal Accident Reporting System and Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation data (with special emphasis on back seat occupants, frontal crashes, and crashes involving occupant ejection or vehicle fire), sled test analyses and a cost study of production lock assemblies. It was found that the locks hold seatbacks in place in crashes when the back seat is unoccupied, but locks or other seat components often separate at moderate crash speeds when there are unrestrained back seat occupants. No statistically significant injury or fatality reductions were found for seat back locks in any of the accident data files or in the sled tests. The locks add about $14 (in 1985 dollars) to the lifetime cost of owning and operating a car. 17. Key Words IS.

  • The Caheri Gutierrez Story
    The Caheri Gutierrez by Story James O’Brien On November 20, 2008, Caheri Gutierrez was stopped at a traffic light in deep East Oakland when her life changed forever. What follows is a real story most people can’t begin to comprehend and will hopefully never experience. Caheri is living proof of the need for, and impact of, Youth ALIVE!. What happened to her is horrific, but it doesn’t end with a broken girl lost in sadness and trauma. Two years after the incident, Caheri joined the Youth ALIVE! staff as the Teens on Target Violence Prevention Educator. This is her story. Oakland is one of the five most violent cities in the U.S., with a murder rate nearly four times the national average. Yet it is also a beacon of hope. Youth ALIVE! is a nationally recognized, Oakland-based nonprofit whose mission is to prevent violence and develop youth leadership in California communities. Our programs – Teens on Target anti-violence youth leadership and peer education, Caught in the Crossfire intervention with gunshot victims to break to the cycle of violence, and Khadafy Washington Project assistance to grieving families to reduce tensions following a homicide – have been replicated in dozens of communities across the country. Our organization relies on the donations of individuals to help other youth like Caheri make positive life decisions, recover from violence, avoid re-injury, and be a part of the change necessary to make our streets safe for everyone. Please consider visiting www.YouthALIVE.org to make a donation. If you would prefer, please mail a check payable to Youth ALIVE! to 3300 Elm Street, Oakland, CA 94609.

Abstract Many parents with low educational attainment prematurely graduate their children to seat belt restraint rather than use belt-positioning booster seats. This study aimed to identify interventions that promoted booster seat use among this population. Focus groups were used to elicit factors contributing to booster seat nonuse, which informed subsequent intervention development. A first phase (10 focus groups, n=117) identified parents’ perceived barriers, benefits, and threats relating to booster seats. These findings were used to identify existing and create new interventions. A second phase (20 focus groups, n=171) elicited parent’s reactions to these interventions and provided parents with belt-positioning booster seats and education on their use.
