Description
Quad bike incidents have been recognised as a public health problem worldwide. This thesis examined the beliefs and attitudes of parents towards allowing their children to ride quad bikes for the purposes of content development for educational safety campaigns. Parents' beliefs and attitudes were explored through a series of surveys and interviews. Message concepts were examined with parents in a series of interviews and a quad bike safety expert panel via a Delphi study. Message concepts either challenged or promoted existing beliefs to deter parents from allowing their children to ride quad bikes to subsequently reduce child-related injury and fatality.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
