4.8 The free text comments The questionnaires administered after young people had seen the Crash Course presentation had three free text questions. These comments were analysed qualitatively by coding their content. The first of these questions asked “Is there anything you would want to change about the Crash Course?” A total of 141 young people offered a comment. Table 4.4 below tabulates their content. 17 young people said they wanted no change at all. As might be expected, there are some contradictions. For example, a number of young people found the presentation too upsetting (19) but another somewhat smaller group wanted to make the material even more harrowing in an attempt to shock people into safer behaviour (7). In all 20 felt the presentation was too long or needed a break in the middle: one person however felt it should be longer. Illustrations of the comments are provided below (with spelling and punctuation corrected). . 37
Table 4.4: Suggestions made by young people for changes to the course Type of comment Number received Do not make any change 17 Make more use of videos and pictures with less talking 32 Too long; make it shorter 15 Have a break 5 Include activities, involve the audience 5 Include safety of motorbikes and scooters 2 It was too upsetting 19 Make it more harrowing and graphic 7 Use current TV advertisements 2 Use more interviews or victims as speakers 7 Provide more information on what to do 2 It was boring 2 Don’t know 1 Making a suggestion on safety e.g. wear your seat belt 8 Other comment or not clear 17 141 No, it was good as it was. I would change nothing. It would be good to watch more videos and pictures as they attract my attention more than someone standing there talking for a long time. Make sure the speaking parts are shorter so that it is more interesting. Shorter, because I was getting tired. Have a break half way. Shorten or include activities. Try to make it easier to focus on, for example involving the audience. They should show things on how to be safe on motor bikes. Motorbike/scooter accidents should be shown. Upsetting scenes were not needed to get the message across. Not as graphic, don't show crippled people under cars. Don't show things that might make people cry and upset. Music upsets me even more. More death; harrowing videos to scare people. I think there needs to be more imagery. It’s not that I like gore I just think it needs to be more shocking. More pictures - frighten them into not doing it! Idea of advert, man in vehicle shows what happens to organs during crash. Could make that more graphic for people to be careful. To include the new advert on the TV would be effective. It shows you how wearing a seatbelt is important and keeping to the correct speed. Have interviews with the people who lost loved ones. Real people with recent accidents telling us how they coped etc. Different ways of appealing to boys…got too boring. Maybe more information on what to do. Say exactly how much worse off you are if you’re drunk or drugged up. What would you do in a car if you had a crash and had no mobile? More info about under age driving and the effects of that. 38
