Effect of education and legislation on bicycle helmet use in a multiracial population.
To observe the effect of new legislation and a boroughwide bicycle helmet educational campaign on bicycle helmet use in a multiracial population. ⋯ In a multiracial population, a statistically significant (P < .001) increase of helmet use was demonstrated after a campaign and distribution of educational material. Legislation alone is inadequate for ensuring increased bicycle helmet use.
