TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - The effect of variable-rate cash incentives on safety belt use JO - Journal of safety research A1 - Grossnickle, W. F. A1 - Smith, Gary A. A1 - Cope, J. G. SP - 95 EP - 99 VL - 17 IS - 3 N2 - Following an awareness campaign targeting the use of safety belts at a large pharmaceutical company, the present research examined the effects of a variable-rate cash-incentive strategy designed to further boost the level of plant-wide safety belt use. The observed percentage of belt use showed a sig- nificant increase during the incentive phase and a subsequent decline during short-term follow-up, although levels during follow-up were significantly higher than during baseline. Belt wearing was found to be essentially un- changed 6 months later during long-term follow-up.
