The TRIS page

    You can research journal articles on bicycle helmets (and other subjects) on the TRIS Search Page. TRIS has more than 400,000 books, journal articles, and technical reports on transportation research from the 1960's to the present. Put "bicycle and helmet" in the search window and it will return more than 145 references. The abstracts are sometimes disappointing, but the citations are very useful.

Evaluations

We have a page up on evaluations for helmet campaigns. But the best list of studies and references on educational campaign evaluations is the page titled "Bicycle Injury Interventions Programs to Increase Helmet Use: Education" on the Harborview Injury Prevention Center site. We can't hope to match that. You may find a lot more with a search on helmets on their site.

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of DOT, has an extensive report called

Bicycle Helmet Use Laws: Lessons Learned from Selected Sites CD-ROM 2004

It includes lessons learned from Austin, Texas; Jacksonville and Duval County, Florida; the State of Maryland; the State of Oregon; Port Angeles, Washington, and Seymour, Connecticut. The Web link actually has the entire CD if you click on "Table of Contents," and clicking on the "printer friendly version" link gets you a 219 page file in .pdf format that is actually the whole report.
