Abstract: NHTSA proposes to conduct the next administration of the Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey (MVOSS), which the agency uses to track changes in public attitude, knowledge, and behavior related to occupant protection. The MVOSS also collects information related to Emergency Medical Services and crash experience. The survey is composed of two questionnaires, with one focusing on seat belt use and the other focusing on child occupant protection. Each questionnaire will be administered to an independently drawn national probability sample. The proposed MVOSS will involve a major change in methodology from the previous MVOSSs. It will select sample from an Address Based Sampling Frame, and will be Web-based. For those people who choose not to respond to the survey over the Web, NHTSA will offer paper (mail back) and telephone as alternative response modes.
