The Effect of Visual Patient Education on Helmet Use Behaviour in Elderly Patients After a Bicycle, E-bike, or Moped Accident
Sponsor: Erasmus Medical Center
Summary
This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) targeting individuals aged 60 and older who present to the emergency department following an accident. The study examines the effect of watching an educational video on helmet use specifically, whether it leads to increased helmet usage in the future. Individuals aged 60 or older who were not wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle, e-bike, or (e)-moped at the time of the accident are eligible for inclusion.
