About this study

As the leading cause of death and disability in children in America, unintentional injuries are a critical public health issue. Most injuries can be prevented by parents implementing effective child safety practices. This project produced an interactive multimedia (IMM) program delivered via Internet/Intranet that taught injury prevention skills to parents of children aged 2 through 5 years, with the ultimate goal of reducing mortality and disability from unintentional injury in this population.

Read the detailed description

This project produced a comprehensive, interactive multimedia (IMM) program called Family Safety 123 to teach childhood injury prevention skills to parents of children 2 to 5 years of age. The program contained 40 high-quality video clips, each 2 to 5 minutes in length, depicting injury prevention strategies in 13 content areas: supervision, preventing airway obstructions, poison awareness, preventing burns, preventing falls, firearm safety, motor vehicle safety, pedestrian awareness, sports, playgrounds, water safety, bike safety, and other safety concerns. Each content area contained 1 to 6 videos comprised of short video presentations, modeling vignettes demonstrating desired behaviors, supportive testimonials, and suggestions for modifications to home and recreational environments. Family Safety 123 video content is derived from The Injury Prevention Program (TIPP) sheets developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which recognizes injury prevention as a primary topic for parents.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Behavioral measure: Change from baseline in identification of correct/incorrect child car safety seat and booster seat situations and bicycle helmet placement situations.

    Parents viewed child car seat and booster seat situations and were asked whether 9 car safety seat and 7 booster seat items were correct or incorrect. Parents also viewed 2 bicycle helmet situations and were asked to identify if these were correct or incorrect.

    Measured: 30 days and 60 days

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change in knowledge of injury prevention strategies

    An injury prevention knowledge scale was created across all content areas. The injury prevention knowledge scale contained 41 items (e.g., "The best way to lessen the possibility of a young child choking …") for parents of younger children and 44-items for parents of older children. The injury prevention knowledge scale represents the percent of items correctly endorsed.

    Measured: 30 days and 60 days

  2. Change in attitudes and beliefs about injury prevention strategies

    An injury prevention attitudes \& beliefs scale was created across all content areas (e.g., "It is never ok to use a second hand car seat even if you know the car seat has never been involved in a crash."). Thirty-four items assessed attitudes \& beliefs for parents of younger children and 33-items for parents of older children (alpha = .85 for both younger and older children). All items were assessed using a 5-point Likert scale with 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree.

    Measured: 30 days and 60 days

  3. Change in self-efficacy for engaging in injury prevention strategies

    An injury prevention self-efficacy scale was created from 36 items across all content areas for the parents of younger children and 35 items for parents of older (e.g., "I am confident that I know the safest way to store guns and ammunition") (alpha = .77 for younger children and .89 for older children.) All items were assessed using a 5-point Likert scale with 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree.

    Measured: 30 days and 60 days

  4. Change in car safety knowledge of injury prevention

    Three items were used to assess knowledge of car safety injury prevention (e.g., "Your child should use a forward-facing safety seat until…") with the response coded as either 0 = incorrect or 1 = correct.

    Measured: 30 days and 60 days

  5. Change in car safety attitudes & beliefs of injury prevention

    Two items were used to assess attitudes and beliefs towards car safety injury prevention (e.g., "It is never ok to use a second car seat even if you know the car seat has never been involved in a crash"). Both items were assessed with a 5-point Likert scale with 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree. Both of the attitudes \& beliefs items for the car safety attitudes content area were discarded because the wording proved confusing to participants.

    Measured: 30 days and 60 days

  6. Change in car safety self-efficacy in performing injury prevention skills

    Four items were used to assess self-efficacy in performing car safety injury prevention skills (e.g., "How confident are you that you know when to transition your child into a booster seat?"). Items were assessed with a 5-point Likert scale with 1 = not at all confident and 5 = extremely confident.

    Measured: 30 days and 60 days

  7. Change in wheeled sports knowledge of injury prevention

    Two items were used to assess knowledge of wheeled sports injury prevention (e.g., "A child carrier bike seat should…") with the response coded as either 0 = incorrect or 1 = correct.

    Measured: 30 days and 60 days

  8. Change in wheeled sports attitudes & beliefs of injury prevention

    Four items were used to assess attitudes \& beliefs towards wheeled sports safety injury prevention (e.g., "It is extremely important for my child to wear a helmet whenever riding his or her bike"). Items were assessed with a 5-point Likert scale with 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree.

    Measured: 30 days and 60 days

  9. Change in wheeled sports self-efficacy in performing injury prevention skills

    Three items were used to assess self-efficacy in performing wheeled sports injury prevention skills (e.g., "How confident are you that you know how to correctly check the fit of your child's helmet?"). Items were assessed with a 5-point Likert scale with 1 = not at all confident and 5 = extremely confident.

    Measured: 30 days and 60 days
