Brief Summary

The study involves the testing of a Pedialink module through parent exit interviews in one intervention practice and one control practice. Pedialink is the American Academy of Pediatrics' online home for continuous professional development. The intervention site will complete the Pedialink module and the control site will be given routine tobacco control materials. We will measure changes in practice patterns in the two pediatric practices following the implementation of the online training. At each of these practices, the parents or guardians of children seen by the practice will be surveyed for a one week period before, and a one week period six weeks after either using the online training module (intervention) or being given routine tobacco materials (control). A follow-up telephone survey will be given to some parents at 3-months. Those given the telephone survey are parents or guardians who smoke or parents or guardians who live with a smoker and are surveyed at the second time-point. We hypothesize that intervention practices will have higher rates of screening for home and car no-smoking rules and higher rates of advising for home and car no-smoking rules.
