Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine trends of motorcycle related head injuries in HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center, Nakhon Nayok province, Thailand, following the 100% Motorcycle Helmet Use campaign by using log-linear models. Since the injuries count data is overdispersion, the Poisson log-linear model is not reasonable. Consequently, the negative binomial log-linear model accounted for overdispersion is used, and it fits the data very well. The fitted model indicated the increasing trend of head injuries after the 100% Motorcycle Helmet Use campaign was lunched over the years 2011-2016. It is increasing at the rate 1.13% per month.
