Brief Summary

This study compares a video-based social learning method to the traditional didactic method as a new way to teach caregivers about child passenger safety, including how to install a car seat. Half of the caregivers will attend the video-based social learning class, while the other half will attend the traditional didactic class. The investigators hypothesize that the video-based social learning method will lead to an equal or greater increase in caregiver child passenger safety proficiency when compared to the traditional didactic method.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 5-Item Car Seat Installation Demonstration Measure

  Each participant will install a car seat in their vehicle prior to, and immediately following, the intervention. A child passenger safety technician observing the installation and blinded to the intervention, will use this measure to evaluate the 5 areas of installation: direction, location, mechanism (seatbelt or lower anchors), harness position, and tether use. Participants will only be evaluated on installation demonstration areas relevant to their vehicle and car seat. Each item is scored correct or incorrect. Correct car seat installation is defined as all applicable items marked correct.
