Education Component – the 7% Project (Year 2)

Background

According to the World Health Organization, road traffic accidents are responsible for more than 1.2 million deaths globally each year, with motorcycle accidents accounting for nearly a quarter of these deaths. In 2012, 14,059 people were killed on roads in Thailand, resulting in a road death rate of 36.2 per 100,000 people. Road accidents are the second leading cause of death of Thai children. Most children travel on motorcycles daily, and while Thai law mandates helmet use for motorcyclists, only an estimated seven percent of children wear helmets. Research indicates that helmet use is the single most effective means of preventing injury among motorcyclists; it reduces risk of death by 40% and severe head injury by 70%. Without coordinated efforts to establish a culture of helmet safety, more children and adults will risk their lives and health on roads. The project’s four components are:

• Education – teaching children the importance of and how to wear helmets, using peer influence to change behaviour.
• Police Engagement – working with parents and police to ensure that children wear helmets every time when riding motorcycles.
• Media and Outreach – campaigning to include helmets as part of school uniforms, and conducting nationwide messaging, events, advocacy, and social mobilisation efforts.
• Adaptation – designing helmets that youth want to wear, and providing opportunities for children to customise their own helmets.

To inspire behavioural change towards new social norms, Save the Children has been working closely alongside teacher and student helmet ambassadors to monitor and evaluate the toolkit, improving content and activities.  Save the Children selects and trains teacher helmet ambassadors (THAs) who play a crucial role in leading helmet safety initiatives and promoting behaviour change among peers. The Behavioural Influence (BI) toolkit includes selection criteria, outlines student and advisor roles, summarises objectives and activities, and provides training of trainer (TOT) workshop curriculum. To ensure impact and behavioral changes and firmly established the project’s footing in Bangkok Save the Children divides the target schools into two different categories: entry group with 200 new schools and intensive group in 4 districts with 41 schools.
