Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated a persuasive educational mailing aimed at increasing motorcycle licensure among unlicensed owners, who are overrepresented in motorcycle crashes in Maryland.
- The randomized trial included 8,499 unlicensed motorcycle owners, with half receiving the educational intervention, and results were tracked for 6 months.
- The intervention led to a higher success rate in obtaining licenses and enrolling in motorcycle training classes, particularly among men and older participants, indicating that educational strategies can effectively improve motorcycle safety through increased licensure.
