  • Title: Race, belief in destiny, and seat belt usage: a pilot study.
    Author: Colón I.
    Journal: Am J Public Health; 1992 Jun; 82(6):875-7. PubMed ID: 1585969.
    Abstract:
    A survey of 1063 individuals found that when belief in destiny was statistically controlled, differences in seat belt use by race disappeared. Thus, racial differences in seat belt use are statistically accounted for and might be explained by belief in destiny. Efforts to increase seat belt use should target minority groups rather than include them in broadbrush programs. Further, these efforts should take into account this important difference in motivation.
