Occupant protection is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to protect yourself when riding in a motor vehicle. Yet many North Dakota youth, especially rural youth, fail to wear their seat belts, even with a primary seat belt law for children under the age of 18 in the state of North Dakota. The primary goal of this project was to integrate occupant protection education of "tweens" (youths aged 10 to 14) with one of the most widely known youth programs in North Dakota -- 4-H. Education modules which were developed and compiled were not implemented due to a lack of partners. However, resources developed and knowledge gained will be used in future projects. Disseminating traffic safety education information through the 4-H program is possible as evidenced by success stories in other states outlined in this report.
