Nationwide, 25.3% of students had ridden a motorcycle during the 12 months preceding the survey. Of these students, 37.2% rarely or never wore a motorcycle helmet. Male students (40.9%) were significantly more likely than female students (30.1%) to have rarely or never worn a motorcycle helmet. This significant sex difference was identified for white students and students in grade 12. Overall, Hispanic students (55.3%) were significantly more likely than white students (33.6%) to report this behavior. This significant racial/ethnic difference was identified for both female and male students. Prevalence of rarely or never wearing a motorcycle helmet varied threefold from 19.5% to 66.1% (median: 40.3%) across state surveys and from 30.6% to 67.6% (median: 42.5%) across local surveys.
