Motor Vehicle Injuries/ Accidents
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in the first three decades of Americans’ lives. The number of motor vehicle deaths have skyrocketed in 2015, resulting in over 35,000 deaths that year alone. More than 85% of motor vehicle crashes happen because of the decision of the driver. These issues could range from drinking in driving, texting while driving, or falling asleep behind the wheel. In attempts to stop the issue of motor vehicle accidents, organizations such as CDC have turned to science in hopes of a solution. Thanks to scientific research, we found that distractions to the brain are what commonly cause such accidents. Doing simple things like, not texting while driving, driving sober, and wearing a seat belt can reduce the number of motor vehicle accidents.
I helped my group by researching current events relation to motor vehicle accidents, as well as researching scientific articles which tell us why this topic is such a problem. Lastly connecting it to pubic health safety.
We all did a good job at creating an informative PSA. One that was filled with facts, yet easy to understand and interesting to watch. The most meaningful part was being able to not only find the science behind such a big topic, but being able to find ways to prevent it.
