背景小儿狗咬伤是世界范围内一个重大的公共卫生问题。现有的专注于改变儿童与宠物狗相处的危险行为的预防计划往往是理论性的，而且效果有限。目的测试一个网站的有效性，该网站训练幼儿相关认知技能，以便安全地在家中与宠物狗相处。地点为美国阿拉巴马州伯明翰。方法将采用两组 34 名 4-6 岁儿童（总共 N=68）的预期样本进行随机试验。一组将在家里使用新设计的网站两周，另一组将在同等时间内使用交通安全控制网站。所有参与者将完成一系列基于实验室的测试，以评估狗的安全性以及基线和干预后的认知功能。结果测量将通过测试随时间变化的线性混合模型进行初步分析。儿童的认知功能、与狗相处的安全知识以及在模拟和体内与狗相处的行为将作为主要结果。 临床试验注册 该研究免于在美国政府网站 http://www.clinicaltrials.gov 上注册，因为它是测试早期阶段的行为试验。
BackgroundPaediatric dog bites are a significant public health problem worldwide. Existing prevention programmes focused on altering children's risky behaviour with pet dogs tend to be atheoretical and only moderately effective.ObjectiveTest efficacy of a website to train young children in relevant cognitive skills to be safe with pet dogs in their home.SettingBirmingham, Alabama, USA.MethodsA randomised trial will be conducted with an expected sample of two groups of 34 children (total N=68) ages 4–6 years. One group will engage in the newly designed website at home for 2 weeks and the other group will engage in a control website on transportation safety for an equivalent amount of time. All participants will complete a battery of laboratory-based tests to assess safety with dogs and cognitive functioning at baseline and postintervention.Outcome measuresPrimary analyses will be conducted through linear mixed models testing change over time. Children's cognitive functioning, knowledge about safety with dogs, and behaviour with dogs in simulation and in vivo will serve as the primary outcomes.Clinical trial registrationThis study is exempt from registry at the US government website, http://www.clinicaltrials.gov, based on being a behavioural trial in the early phases of testing.
