A random sample of 1201 pediatricians who are members of the American Academy of Pediatrics completed questionnaires regarding bicycle injury prevention counseling. Of the 871 pediatricians in the sample who provide health supervision, 80% reported that they discuss bicycle helmet use with their patients at least once before the patient reaches the age of 12 years. Provision of bicycle helmet counseling did not vary significantly by pediatricians' age, gender, or practice location. The most important predictor of provision of bicycle helmet counseling was professional experience with injured children, including having had a patient who experienced a serious injury or death due to a bicycle accident in the last year
