Abstract: This paper sets road safety education in a health promotion context and describes the application of cost—utility analysis to the economic evaluation of road safety education in New South Wales. The application is tentative and designed to illustrate the advantages of the approach rather than to demonstrate the cost‐effectiveness of road safety education.
