Smith's (2016) study assessed the level of awareness among urban motorcyclists regarding the Helmet
Act. Using a survey of 1,000 respondents, the study found that 85% were aware of the law, but only 60%
could correctly identify key provisions. The study highlights the need for more targeted public
information campaigns. In contrast, Brown's (2017) research on Awareness and Attitudes Towards
Motorcycle Helmet Use in Rural Communities revealed that only 50% of the 800 respondents in rural
areas were aware of the Helmet Act, indicating significantly lower awareness levels compared to urban
centers.Brown's study recommends integrating helmet safety education into community health
programs for improved awareness.

Garcia's (2018) study, which used observational methods and surveys, reported that while 70% of
respondents were aware of helmet laws, compliance stood at only 55%. The study emphasizes the
crucial role enforcement plays in improving compliance rates. Furthermore, Lee's (2019) cross-sectional
study on Public Awareness and Compliance with Motorcycle Helmet Legislation among 1,200
motorcyclists found that 78% were aware of helmet laws, with notable differences in awareness
between age groups. Lee's study advocates for age-specific awareness programs to enhance
understanding and compliance among motorcyclists of different age groups.

Martinez and Santos (2020) examined the impact of a year-long public awareness campaign, showing a
15% increase in awareness and a 10% increase in helmet use post-campaign. Their study underscores
the effectiveness of sustained public education efforts. Moreover, Nguyen's (2021) study on Awareness
and Behavioral Responses to Motorcycle Helmet Legislation Among Young Riders focused on young
motorcyclists aged 18-25, revealing a 65% awareness of helmet laws with a significant correlation
between awareness and helmet use. The authors recommend peer-led educational initiatives to
increase awareness among young riders.

In a study conducted by Kumar (2022) in India, it was found that 70% of respondents were aware of
helmet laws, but only 50% used helmets regularly, suggesting the need for integrating helmet safety into
school curricula. Additionally, Yusuf's (2023) study on Public Awareness and Compliance with
Motorcycle Helmet Laws in Nigeria found that 55% of Nigerian motorcyclists were aware of helmet laws,
with compliance at a low 40%. The authors recommend multi-faceted approaches, including improved
law enforcement and community-based education.

De Guzman's (2016) study evaluated awareness levels among Metro Manila motorcyclists, revealing that
80% were aware of the Act, but only 65% consistently used helmets. The study suggests the need for
stronger enforcement and continuous education campaigns.

Reyes & Santos (2017) assessed the impact of educational campaigns on helmet use in Cebu, showing a
20% increase in helmet use following community-based awareness programs. The authors advocate for
sustained and widespread educational efforts. Furthermore, Lopez's (2018) research focused on rural
communities, where awareness was notably lower than in urban areas, with only 45% of respondents
aware of the Helmet Act and compliance at 30%. The study recommends targeted interventions to
improve rural awareness.

Gonzales (2019) examined the implementation of the Helmet Act in Davao, finding high awareness
(85%) but moderate compliance (55%). The research highlights the importance of strict enforcement
and public education. Mendoza's (2020) study surveyed Quezon City residents, showing that 75% were
aware of helmet laws, with compliance at 60%. The study recommends enhanced enforcement
measures and public awareness campaigns to increase helmet use. Lastly, Rivera and Cruz's (2021) study
quantified awareness and compliance across the Philippines, revealing that 70% of motorcyclists were
aware of the Helmet Act, with 50% compliance. The study suggests nationwide educational initiatives to
improve these rates.
