Notes. CI = confidence interval. The preintervention period was January 1, 2000, to June 30, 2006; the postintervention period was July 1, 2006, to December 31, 2007.
a
Monthly median number of people injured in road traffic collisions.
b
Adjusted by time trend, seasonality, and for the effect of prioritization of road safety in Spain in the year 2004.
c
Negative numbers indicate an excess of people injured in the postintervention period compared with the expected numbers had the intervention not been implemented.
