A recent study from Texas State University focused on parental beliefs regarding adult and child motorcycle helmet-wearing practices in Vietnam. The research highlighted the importance of parents in influencing healthy behaviors in children and suggested that parent-focused helmet-wearing campaigns could be effective in promoting helmet use among children. The findings indicated that adults tend to wear helmets at higher rates than children, emphasizing the need for more effective child helmet-wearing campaigns, especially in Southeast Asian countries. This peer-reviewed study provides valuable insights for those working on child helmet safety initiatives. [Extracted from the article]
