Data were collected using a standard questionnaire. Census sampling was used to select the participants. Descriptive statistics, Pearson&rsquo;s correlation test and logistic regression model were used for the data analysis using SPSS Software. </span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span sans-serif=""><b><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" times="">Results</span></span></i></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" times="">: The mean score of the ED staff in traffic safety knowledge, attitude and practices was 9.73 &plusmn; 2.28 out of 15, 95.3&plusmn;11.4 out of 118, and 61.3&plusmn;8 out of 76, respectively. The staff&rsquo;s traffic safety knowledge was associated with their attitude and practices. Moreover, the univariate logistic regression modeling results revealed that participants&#39; traffic safety attitude (OR= 0.96 (95% CI= 0.93-0.99)) and practices (OR= 0.95 (95% CI= 0.91-0.99)) were, independently, correlated with a reduction in road traffic accidents. </span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span sans-serif=""><b><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" times="">Conclusions</span></span></i></b><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" times="">:</span></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" times=""> The ED staff&rsquo;s attitudes towards traffic safety had a positive correlation with their practices and also accident experience. Nonetheless, after adjusting the data in terms of knowledge and attitude, road traffic safety practice was not associated with participants&#39; accident experience. It is crucial to consider road safety education in colleges to promote safety knowledge of graduate individuals which will have conspicuous results in risk reduction.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div> Emergency Department, Traffic Safety, Knowledge, Attitude, Practices 44 53 http://jhs.mazums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-509-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Kavous Shahsavarinia کاووس شهسواری نیا Kavous.shahsavari@yahoo.com 10031947532846008861 10031947532846008861 No Tabriz University of Medical Sciences علوم پزشکی تبریز Alireza Razzaghi علیرضا رزاقی razzaghi.alireza1@gmail.com 10031947532846008862 10031947532846008862 No Tabriz University of Medical Sciences علوم پزشکی تبریز Neda Gilani ندا گیلانی neda.gilani@gmail.com 10031947532846008863 10031947532846008863 No Tabriz University of Medical Sciences علوم پزشکی تبریز Javid Zohdi جاوید زهدی Zohdijavid@gmail.com 10031947532846008864 10031947532846008864 No Tabriz University of Medical Sciences علوم پزشکی تبریز Parvaneh Basiri پروانه بصیری m.hcm202@gmail.com 10031947532846008865 10031947532846008865 No Tabriz University of Medical Sciences علوم پزشکی تبریز Mohammad Saadati محمد سعادتی hcm.2020@gmail.com 10031947532846008866 10031947532846008866 Yes Khoy University of Medical Sciences علوم پزشکی خوی
