CDC Booster Seat

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Booster Seat Research Grant, awarded through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, beginning in 2000 and ending in 2003.

In December 2000, a baseline observational survey was conducted in Colorado Springs and showed booster seat use , among kids ages 4-8, at 11% (more than twice the national average of 5%). After one year of education, booster seat use increased to nearly 20% according to a second observational survey. The third observation resulted in a 39% usage rate and the fourth and final rate ended at an astounding 47%.
