Recording Cyclist Crashes and Long-term Injury Consequences by new Smart Tools

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The ReCyCLIST project is a collaboration between research institutes from the health and transport sciences, public authorities, medical expertise and web-tool developers, and end-user organisations, and as such an excellent example of a project that promotes and supports cooperation between research groups and users of the research.

Three major research questions are addressed in the ReCyCLIST project:

  1. What are the numbers, characteristics and locations of accidents and injuries among cyclists and e-scooter/micro mobility device users in a representative county (Agder) in Norway?
  2. What are the consequences of injuries in terms of social and individual costs including long-term consequences with respect to recovery, disability rates etc.?
  3. What are the overall health impacts of cycling, when including the more comprehensive set of positive and negative effects; and what are the economic impacts from increased cycling (in terms of cost-benefit ratios)? To answer these research questions, the investigators will develop a new digital registration tool to record accidents and injuries among cyclists and users of micro mobility devices in Agder county in Norway. Patients will be followed up and data on medical rehabilitation, recovery and general conditions will be collected by use of questionnaires after three and twelve months. To map long-term consequences of injuries (> 1 year), a retrospective study will be applied based on linking data from different registers containing information about health, welfare benefits and injuries.
