Understanding nonuse of mandatory e-scooter helmets

CONCLUSIONS: Most nonuse of helmets in a mandatory context seems to be situational, rather than consistent. Many of the factors associated with nonuse of helmets for e-scooters are similar to those reported for bicycles. Nonuse of helmets appears to be one of a number of risky behaviors performed by riders, rather than being primarily an outcome that is specific to factors associated with helmets (e.g., concerns about hygiene, discomfort or availability).PMID:38578267 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2335677
