| 16. Abstract
This is the Methodology Report for the 1998 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey. The survey is
conducted on a biennial basis (initiated in 1994), and is administered by telephone to a randomly selected
national sample. Two questionnaires are used, each administered to approximately 4,000 respondents aged
16 and older. The survey collects information concerning attitudes, knowledge, and behavior in different
occupant protection and highway safety areas. These include seat belts, child safety seats, air bags, (bicyclist
and motorcyclist) helmet use, Emergency Medical Services, and crash injury experiences. The field period
for the survey was from November 5, 1998 to January 12, 1999.
This document describes the methodology used to conduct the survey. It also contains copies of both the English and Spanish language versions of the questionnaires. NHTSA will issue a series of reports during 1999 and 2000 summarizing results from the survey.
