Multi – Center Study on "Non-standard helmet use

The MCS represents a leading activity of the RTIRN network towards achieving research capacity development, focusing on senior researchers and using regional workshops to strengthen specific skills in methods related to motorcycle safety. The project is made possible with funding from the World Bank Global Road Safety Facility and Global Forum for Health Research.

The products of the study are expected to be beneficial not only to the individual scientist but also the global community of stakeholders (GRSF/World Bank, WHO, UNRSC) interested in RTI prevention.

Nine collaborating centers in Asia, Africa and Latin America are part of this activity. These teams were selected based on an open call for application that was reviewed by the board of RTIRN.
