Results: Among 309 motorcyclists, 80% were less than 40 years of age, and only 24% were
females. Among the total, only 31.4% used a helmet. There was a statistically significant
association between the use of helmet and gender, marital status, drunken driving, use of alcohol
and attitude towards implementing legislative measures. Odds Ratios observed were 5.3 for
female gender compared to male, 4.5 for those with a positive attitude towards the
implementation of legislative measures on helmet use, 3.7 for those who were not drunk while
driving and 2.3 for unmarried compared to married persons.
