In Missouri, injuries from motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death to children aged one to four. In 1984, the state legislature enacted child passenger safety legislation, but by 1992, compliance with the law was still disappointingly low. The Missouri Department of Health implemented a program called Take a Seat, Please! in which concerned citizens reported motorists who transported children under age four in a way not compliant with the state law. Two years later, a telephone survey and a pre- and postobservation study at child care centers did not show that the intervention had any effect. The program was discontinued in September 1995.
