Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) Assessment on Road Safety among children, caregivers and public in Bangkok for the 7 Percent Project
According to the WHO, Thailand has the 2nd most dangerous roads in the world over 2,600 children die and more than 72,000 are injured on Thailand's roads every year. Research indicates that helmet use is the single most effective means of preventing injury among motorcyclists. It reduces risk of death by 40 percent and severe head injury by 70 percent. However, only 7% of children wear helmets when riding motorcycles, even when their parents do. The main challenges limiting helmet use among children are: weak enforcement, inconvenience to the users, perception of helmets as “unfashionable”, and cultural beliefs that fate is predetermined. Studies show that many students do not understand the necessity of fastening the chinstrap and 42 percent reported not doing so. Students believe that they are less likely to have an accident during short trips and/or while traveling on small, local roads. In reality, data from Khon Kaen Hospital in Thailand confirms that 36.4 percent of injuries occur one kilometre from home and 66.7 percent of collisions take place on local roads.
Supported by Save the Children Korea, FIA Foundation and Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP), Save the Children Thailand Country Office has launched a campaign to decrease motorcycle deaths and injuries among Thai children by increasing helmet use. The 7% Project was piloted in 2015 and is planned for a three-year scale-up between 2016-2019. Scale-up for the first year of the project has taken place in Bangkok in 2016, and is being expanded to additional schools in Bangkok in year two and three:

The 7% Project aims to reduce child death and injury from motorcycle accidents by strengthening police law enforcement, advocating for policy change, changing children’s behaviour, making helmets more attractive to children, and raising awareness on helmet use and road safety through media campaigns (see Project Logical framework in Annex 1 and Project Baseline Report in Annex II). The 7% Project design features an integrated approach that includes partnerships with media, social enterprise, government, corporate partners, schools and communities. The key project components are:
Save the Children intends to commission a consultant(s) to conduct a quantitative KAP assessment on road safety, particularly on helmet use and enforcement, among children and caregivers in intervention schools in Bangkok to support the project implementation in making decisions around project approach and activity re-design. Qualitative research should be conducted to complement the findings from the quantitative study.
|
Key questions for community/school level survey: |
|
What is the level of knowledge, attitude and practice around helmet use among children (boys/girls), parents, caretakers, teachers and motorcycle taxis (men/women) in targeted schools? |
|
Who are the main influencers for helmet use among children (peer, teachers, parents, 7 percent project, others)? |
|
What would help/hinder parents or caretakers in enforcing helmet use on their children? |
|
What would help/hinder motorcycle taxis and caretakers in enforcing helmet use on child passengers? |
|
What is the attitude towards helmet law and enforcement by traffic police? |
|
What is the attitude among teachers and parents towards ‘helmet as part of student uniform’ policy? |
|
What is the level of exposure to key messages around road safety and helmet use? And what are different sources of mass media they consume? |
It is also expected that the KAP survey is conducted with the general public in Bangkok to inform the project’s public campaign and advocacy strategy. Most importantly the KAP survey will set a baseline, to which results will be compared with another post-intervention KAP assessment to evaluate the impact of the project intervention.
|
Key questions for public survey: |
|
What is the level of knowledge, attitude and practice around helmet use among population in Bangkok (men/women)? |
|
What are enabling factors and barriers to helmet use among Thai children? |
|
What is the level of attitude among Bangkok public towards helmet law and enforcement by traffic police? |
|
What is the attitude towards ‘helmet as student uniform’ as a policy in schools? |
|
What is the level of exposure to key messages around road safety and helmet use? And what are different sources of mass media? |
Research Methodology:
A consultant(s) will be hired to conduct the baseline KAP assessment. The following is the outline of a suggested process; however, it would be expected that this would be further refined by the consultant(s) in consultation with Save the Children team. The assessment must be in line with Save the Children’s ethical guideline (Annex III).
