Abstract
Geographic Analysis of Child Restraint Use Data for Strategic PlanningTrack: Health and Human Services
Author(s): Barbara Marie Stepanski, Leslie Upledger-Ray, Dale Cooper
This investigation of demographic characteristics of participants in infant/child car seat inspections demonstrates a practical application of ArcView GIS and spatial analysis into injury surveillance and prevention. An overlay of demographic and economic estimates and residency of participants was analyzed to determine distinctiveness of the population involved in past inspections. With this information, investigators are able to focus on identifying populations not represented, community outreach to increase awareness, and strategically plan future inspection locations.
