Abstract:
Objective:To learn the status of knowledge,attitude and behaviors of road traffic safety in primary and secondary school students in Xiacheng District of Hangzhou.
Methods:The students of fourth to seventh grade from seven schools in Xiacheng District were selected and surveyed for their knowledge,attitude and behaviors of road traffic safety by self-designed questionnaires.
Results:Totally 4 006（99.98%）students completed the survey,who mostly had awareness rates of over 90% in knowledge about safe behaviors when walking,walking across the road and riding a bicycle or an electric bicycle. The awareness rates of"should not run across the road","should not ride side by side"and"should not ride on the motorway"were relatively low,which were 81.65%,85.72% and 82.78%,respectively. About 68.47% of students thought it necessary to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle or an electric bicycle,72.22% of students thought it necessary to wear seatbelt or use child safety seat when taking a car. The two rates were significantly higher in girls than boys and in primary school students than secondary school students（P<0.05）. The top three unsafe behaviors the students did in the past six months were"not wear a helmet when riding a bicycle or an electric bicycle","run across the road"and"ride on the motorway",the rates of which were 86.84%,10.06% and 7.91%,respectively.
