Nationwide, 14.1% of students had rarely or never worn seat belts when riding in a car driven by someone else. Male students (18.1%) were significantly more likely than female students (10.2%) to have rarely or never worn seat belts. This significant sex difference was identified for white and Hispanic students and for students in all of the grade subpopulations. Prevalence of rarely or never wearing seat belts varied fourfold from 7.5% to 27.4% (median: 14.9%) across state surveys, and varied sixfold from 6.7% to 38.2% (median: 13.5%) across local surveys.
