Abstract

The objectives of this evaluative research were: (1) to evaluate the implementation of the district road traffic injury (D-RTI) system. Stufflebeam’s CIPP Model, which consisted of context, inputs, process, and products was applied to evaluate the system. (2) to identify problems/obstacles in the system and suggestions for improving the system. The sample was conducted among all 60 members of the District Road Safety System Committees of Health Region 9. Primary data on the context, inputs, and process were collected using a questionnaire. For product evaluation, secondary data were collected from D-RTI system assessment reports in 2021. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used for data analysis. The results showed that: (1) the context consisted of policy, participation, and resource support was high level. The inputs’ evaluation consisting of personnel, budget, and other resources was high level. The product evaluation of all 60 districts based on the district road traffic injury system assessment that the most average is policy advocacy and the least average is the implementation of measures in correspond to the problem. The total injury rate and fatalities from road traffic accidents when comparing between 2020 and 2021 decreased in 45 districts, for 75.0%. (2) major problems/obstacles were the lack of coordination and involvement among many agencies, the budget allocation insufficient to operate, and there is no integration and sharing of budgets of relevant agencies Enhancing more active participation of road safety network members, emphasis on the development of personnel responsible for all departments to have academic potential was recommended. Moreover, continuous empowerment of responsible people should be done.
