Citing similar recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Canadian Pediatric Society, Omalu equated football and other contact sports with other public health hazards like smoking, alcohol consumption and asbestos.

Lesson/PowerPoints/Videos
Are we addressing the risks in our curriculum?
■ Drunk-driving crashes continue to represent roughly one-third of fatalities, resulting in 9,967 deaths.
■ 49 percent of passenger vehicle occupants killed were not wearing seat belts.
■ Distracted driving accounted for 10 percent of all crash fatalities, killing 3,179 people in 2014.
■ Drowsy driving accounted for 2.6 percent of all crash fatalities; at least 846 people died in these crashes in 2014.
■ The number of motorcyclists killed was far higher in states without strong helmet laws, resulting in 1,565 lives lost.
■ Cyclist deaths declined by 2.3 percent, but pedestrian deaths rose by 3.1 percent from the previous year. 2014, there were 726 cyclists and 4,884 pedestrians killed in motor vehicle crashes

Distracted driving
Distracted driving accounted for 10 percent of all crash fatalities, killing 3,179 people in 2014. Here is a link to five exercises you can use to raise teens' awareness of distracted driving as well as lesson plans, PowerPoints, and videos. MORE |

Seat Belts
49 percent of passenger vehicle occupants killed were not wearing seat belts. Primary vs secondary law. In 2013, 883 unbelted back seat passengers 8 years of age and older died in traffic crashes in the U.S. More than 400 of these peoplewould have survived if they had been properly restrained. There are a number of strategies that states can employ to address the issue starting with requiring all passengers, regardless of seating position to buckle up and making it a primary law. (GDL requires all passengers to be belted). ( http://www.ghsa.org/files/pubs/RearBelts_FINAL.pdf).
NJ requires adults 18 and older riding in the back seat to buckle up, but it is a secondary rather than primary law. This means a police officer can't stop and cite the unbelted adult passenger unless the driver is committing a motor vehicle violation. Closing that loophole is important since 18-20 year olds account for the greatest number of teen driver crashes and fatalities in NJ. And despite being fully licensed, a teen is still at risk so all passengers should buckle up!
