Abstract
Road traffic injuries are a growing global public health problem, resulting in over 1.2 million deaths worldwide and 50 million injuries every year. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected, bearing an economic burden as high as 2% of the gross national product according to some studies. Motorcycles are increasingly more common in many LMICs as a cheap and available means of transportation. Motorcycle accidents often result in serious morbidity and mortality. It is well established that motorcycle helmet use significantly reduces both mortality as well as the economic burden imposed by motorcycle crashes.
