Nonfatal Unintentional Injuries among Junior School, High School, Vocational School Students in Taiwan

There are three important findings. It is very adequate for the theory of planned behavior to explore the determinant factors of the adolescent pedestrian crossing traffic roads, and both of their predictive powers on the behavioral intention and behavior are high. The influence of the perceived behavioral control upon the behavioral intention is greater than that of the attitude toward the behavior; however, there is not any influence of the subjective norm upon the behavioral intention.

Again,the influence of the behavioral intention upon the behavior is greater than that of the perceived behavioral control.In the future, the contents of the adolescent pedestrian safety program may adapt their determinant salient beliefs in the adolescent pedestrian crossing the traffic roads, especially the promoters in the control beliefs, exactly because three major components of the theory are closely related with their corresponding determinant salient beliefs, respectively.
