Quoting Brian Mink <[email protected]>:
The role model approach does not seem to have increased helmet use
among children in recent history has it?
That's a good question.
To answer it correctly, we'd need some stats on helmet use generally,
and among children.
In particular, we'd need to compare children whose parents were
actively modeling good behavior vs.those who didn't.
Have there been educational programs aimed directly at getting parents
to model good behavior for their children? (not just programs that
tell bicyclists generally to wear helmets).
Unless you have those numbers, any answer is purely speculative.
I'm strongly in the 'helmets good, helmet laws bad' camp.
