Abstract
OBJETIVO: Este estudio se ideó para describir el efecto de las intervenciones dirigidas a disminuir las muertes de los motociclistas. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se analizaron las variaciones en la mortalidad de motociclistas en Cali, al momento de aplicarse las intervenciones, y el significado estadístico de dichos cambios, entre 1993 y 2001. RESULTADOS: La tasa de muerte de motociclistas por cada 100 000 habitantes se redujo de 9.7 en 1995 a 3.6 en 2001. La mayor reducción se observó después de la introducción del uso del casco protector en 1996 (12.3%). Otras medidas como la obligatoriedad del casco para los pasajeros, el uso del chaleco reflectivo, la prohibición de usar motocicletas en días de diciembre y la exigencia de cursos para infractores redujeron en su conjunto aún más la mortalidad, mientras que el debilitamiento de la vigilancia la incrementó. CONCLUSIONES: La implantación y ejecución de medidas combinadas de prevención resultan más efectivas que las medidas individuales o desarticuladas.
OBJECTIVE: Describe the impact of interventions focused on decreasing deaths by motorcycle crash. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed variations in deaths by motorcycle crash in Cali when the interventions were implemented and the statistical significance of changes between 1993 and 2001. RESULTS: The rate of motorcyclist deaths per 100 000 inhabitants decreased from 9.7 in 1995 to 3.6 in 2001. The greatest reduction was observed after the introduction of the helmet law for motorcycle drivers in 1996 (12.3%). Other interventions-such as a helmet law for passengers, a reflective safety vest, a circulation ban for motorcyclists in December, and compulsory courses for all motorcyclists-produced a greater decrease in mortality; meanwhile, a lack of law enforcement increased it. CONCLUSIONS: The establishment and implementation of a combination of prevention strategies was more effective than a single or non-articulated strategy.
