  • Abstract:
    This document (Volume One of a Two Volume Report) describes the development of a paper-and-pencil instrument for assessing the safety relevance of pedestrian and bicyclist safety education programs. The safety relevance of the program is the extent to which its content reflects the findings of NHTSA research in accident causation and countermeasure development. This instrument, called the Program Assessment Kit (PAK), was developed in response to a need to provide Federal, state, and local safety program personnel with a comprehensive and systematic means for performing comparative evaluation of alternate programs. It can also be used as an aid to the improvement of existing programs and the development of new programs. The PAK was developed using the Worth Assessment Technique. Assessment areas and weights were provided by experts in pedestrian safety, bicycle safety and education. The PAK contains a set of Program Assessment Scales (PAS) for both program types by various program age levels. Each PAS provides 11 subscores and three area scores--safety relevance (content), instructional approach and materials adequacy. It also includes a checklist survey of implementation considerations, guidelines for interpreting reported program effectiveness and a description of NHTSA pedestrian and bicyclist accident types. The PAK was tested by having project staff independently use the PAK to assess a sample of 23 pedestrian and bicyclist safety education programs. High interrater reliabilities were obtained (mean of .843) and all sub and area scores except two ranged between .657 and .905. These exceptions were the result of ambiguous instructions which were subsequently revised. The mean composite (overall) score for the pedestrian programs sampled was 37.5 (100 points possible); for bicyclist programs, 42.8. The most common program weaknesses identified were too much emphasis on irrelevant information (thus reducing the time or emphasis available for safety relevant content) and too little practice of safety behaviors. /Abstract from report summary page/
