Proposed Project

    Update seat belt fit recommendation for children--New--National 
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking OMB 
approval to conduct a new information collection for a study entitled, 
``Update Seat Belt Fit Recommendation for Children,'' over a period of 
three years.
    CDC seeks to measure how seat belts fit children in vehicles with 
and without booster seats. The scientific basis for the current height 
recommendation for when children can transition from using a booster 
seat to just a seat belt is from a 1993 study that is outdated (Durbin 
et al., 2011; Reed et al., 2013). The goal of the new collection is to 
use the latest technology among the largest sample of children to date 
to help inform when children can safely transition from using a booster 
seat with a seat belt to using only a seat belt.
    Findings from this data collection will inform CDC's child 
passenger safety recommendation regarding when children can safely 
transition from using a booster seat with the seat belt to using only 
the seat belt. This study will also provide information on ways to 
further reduce motor vehicle-related injuries and deaths among 
children.
    Prospective study participants will be children aged 6-12 years old 
in the greater District of Columbia (DC) area. Parents of prospective 
study participants will answer a series of screening questions to 
determine eligibility. Children who meet the screening criteria and are 
willing to participate will complete an in-person measurement session. 
Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, mean, standard 
deviation, and logistic regression. Selected findings will eventually 
be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
    The estimated annual burden hours are 466. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time.
