Table 2.

Helmet use per 100 person-minutes of observation

Ridersa Pillion ridersa Totalb
Helmet use 77.8 36.3 57.1
Standard helmet use 50.7 21.8 36.3
Full-face helmet use 43.9 16.8 30.3
Proper helmet use 34.9 14.0 24.5
Effective helmet use 29.2 9.8 19.5

Use per 100 person-minutes of observation = (Number of users × 100)/D

D (Denominator) = Number of data collectors × number of days × (number of minutes/day)

aFor Riders/Pillion riders = ( 1 × 28 × 90) = 2520 person-minutes of observation

bFor total motorcyclists (riders + pillion) = (2 × 28 × 90) = 5040 person-minutes of observation

Example for helmet use (riders) = 1961 × 100 /2520=77.8 helmet users per 100 person-minutes of observation
