This investigation used constructs from the Health Belief Model to examine physicians’ attitudes toward educating patients about motor vehicle safety. The setting was a community in the Midwest. Participants (n=188) indicated they lack the time and expertise to counsel their patients in certain areas. Perceived barriers and self-efficacy predicted 40% of the variance in physicians counseling on this subject. However, perceived benefits were not statistically significant. Training physicians on motor vehicle safety via in-services, conference seminars, or as an addition to their current curriculum may result in decreased fatalities and injuries from car crashes.
