Brief Summary

Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability in children in America. Most injuries can be prevented when parents implement effective child safety practices. This project will create a behaviorally based program to teach parents what to do to prevent injuries to their school aged child, in an effort to reduce the number of injuries, hospitalizations, medical costs, and missed work days.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Behavioral measure: identification of correct/incorrect car booster safety seat, seat belt, and bicycle helmet placement

  Parents viewed 2 car seat installations and were asked whether 7 car booster safety seat situations (e.g., age of the child for the seat) and 7 seat belt installations (e.g., placement of the seat belt) were correct or incorrect. Parents also viewed a bicycle helmet on a dummy and were asked to identify whether 2 helmet situations were correct or incorrect.

  Immediate posttest and 30-day follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Knowledge of injury prevention strategies

  immediate posttest and 30-day follow-up

• Attitudes and beliefs about injury prevention strategies

  immediate posttest and 30-day follow-up

• Self-efficacy for engaging in injury prevention strategies

  immediate posttest and 30-day follow-up
