交通伤害是儿童死亡的主要原因，有效的干预措施是有限的。Otto the Auto是一个提供引人入胜的互动活动的网站。我们在69名参加随机平行组设计研究的4岁和5岁儿童样本中评估Otto。基线评估后，儿童使用Otto或对照网站2周，然后重新评估。与对照组相比，使用Otto的儿童在交通安全知识或行为方面没有表现出增加，尽管存在剂量效应，即更多地与父母一起使用该网站的儿童获得了更安全的行为模式。我们的结论是，当孩子们和他们的父母一起参与时，Otto可能会有一些效果，但应该继续努力开发和完善有吸引力的、有效的、理论驱动的策略，来教授孩子们交通安全，包括通过互联网。
Transportation-related injuries are a leading cause of pediatric death, and effective interventions are limited. Otto the Auto is a website offering engaging, interactive activities. We evaluated Otto among a sample of sixty-nine 4- and 5-year-old children, who participated in a randomized parallel group design study. Following baseline evaluation, children engaged with either Otto or a control website for 2 weeks and then were re-evaluated. Children who used Otto failed to show increases in transportation safety knowledge or behavior compared to the control group, although there was a dosage effect whereby children who engaged in the website more with parents gained safer behavior patterns. We conclude Otto may have some efficacy when engaged by children with their parents, but continued efforts to develop and refine engaging, effective, theory-driven strategies to teach children transportation safety, including via internet, should be pursued.
