Parent Training in Child Safety Practices

描述(申请人提供)：伤害是美国儿童死亡和残疾的主要原因。大多数伤害发生在儿童自己的家里和院子里，父母可以通过实施有效的儿童安全做法来预防。该项目将制作一个交互式多媒体(IMM)计划，向0-2岁儿童的父母传授儿童伤害预防技能。该程序根据用户的家庭环境、家庭情况和儿童年龄量身定做，将用于家庭或医疗办公室环境。第一阶段项目成功地为0-12个月儿童的父母开发了一个CD-ROM IMM计划，涵盖了美国儿科协会建议的两个内容领域：汽车乘客安全和跌倒。第二阶段的开发将扩大该计划在互联网上的使用，包括：(A)涵盖其余内容领域(中毒、火灾和烧伤、枪支安全、溺水、窒息和窒息、锐物和重物以及电力)的额外单元；(B)3个年龄段的儿童(即0-6个月、6-12个月、12-24个月)；(C)供家长使用的印刷文本材料，概述关键内容；以及(D)为医疗提供者提供的有关计划使用的书面信息。最终产品将采用互联网/内联网、CD-ROM和DVD-ROM交付格式。该计划的疗效将在随机临床试验中进行评估。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability for children in America. Most injuries occur in children's own homes and yards and can be prevented by parents through implementation of effective child safety practices. This project will produce an interactive multimedia (IMM) program that teaches childhood injury prevention skills to parents of children age 0-2. Tailored to the user's home environment, family situation, and age of child, the program will be designed for use in home or medical office settings. The Phase I project successfully developed a CD-ROM IMM program for parents of children aged 0-12 months covering two of the content areas suggested by the American Association of Pediatrics, automobile passenger safety and falls. Phase II development will expand the program for Internet use and include: (a) additional units covering the remaining content areas (poisoning, fires and burns, firearm safety, drowning, suffocation and choking, sharp objects and heavy objects, and electricity), (b) 3 child age-ranges (i.e., 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months), (c) printed text materials for parents that summarize key content, and (d) written information for medical providers on program use. Final product will be in Internet/Intranet, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM delivery formats. The efficacy of the program will be evaluated in a randomized clinical trial.
