Comparing Ugandan motorcycle taxi driver estimations of injury incidence to District-level injury surveillance data as a proxy to determine factors influencing risk perception.

Pearson ́s correlation coefficient was determined for the association between the variables “injury classification category rankings for the perceived risk of motorcycle injuries” and “number of injuries witnessed” or “years of experience.” The number of injuries witnessed by participants was significantly correlated with perceived risk (r = 0.187, p = 0.04) and a strong trend was noted between years of experience as a motorcycle taxi driver and perceived risk (r = 0.170, p = 0.07).
