E35: Association of State Helmet Laws with Helmet Use and Injury Outcomes in Motorcycle Crashes
In this episode, Lillian Erdahl, MD, FACS, is joined by Stephanie M Jensen, MD, MPH, and A Britt Christmas, MD, MBA, FACS, from the Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC. They discuss the recent article by Drs Jensen and Christmas, “Association of State Helmet Laws with Helmet Use and Injury Outcomes in Motorcycle Crashes,” in which the authors analyzed a decade of motorcycle collision data from an American College of Surgeons-verified Level I Trauma Center positioned at the border of 2 states with differing motorcycle helmet laws. The study found that helmeted patients had reduced injury severity, and that state helmet laws significantly influence
helmet usage among motorcyclists.
Disclosure Information: Drs Erdahl, Jensen, and Christmas, speakers, have nothing to disclose.
