Safety Skills Training: Parents of School-Aged Children

描述(申请人提供)：伤害是美国儿童死亡和残疾的主要原因。当父母采取有效的儿童安全措施时，大多数伤害是可以预防的。该项目将制作一个交互式多媒体行为改变计划，向6至11岁儿童的父母传授伤害预防技能，根据儿童年龄(6-7岁、8-9岁和10-11岁)、家庭和邻里环境以及儿童娱乐/运动选择而量身定做。该计划将为家庭、工作场所、医疗办公室、学校、日托和社区机构设置而设计。基于伤害预防计划(TIPP)，这是由美国儿科学会创建的基于知识的印刷材料，该计划将结合社会学习理论、健康信念模型和理性行动理论，为伤害预防干预努力增加行为改变理论方法。在成功的第一阶段计划的基础上，第二阶段计划将为6-7岁儿童的父母创建家庭和行人安全材料，并涵盖TIPP计划中概述的其他主题，包括团队运动、水上安全、冬季娱乐安全、轮式运动和机动车乘客。最终产品将以因特网/内联网、CD-ROM和DVD格式提供，以努力为各种用户提供访问材料的途径。该计划将在随机临床试验中进行评估，其中包括240名学龄儿童父母的行为观察部分。伤害是美国儿童死亡和残疾的主要原因。当父母采取有效的儿童安全措施时，大多数伤害是可以预防的。该项目将创建一个基于行为的计划，教父母如何防止学龄儿童受到伤害，以努力减少受伤、住院、医疗费用和缺勤天数。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability in children in America. Most injuries can be prevented when parents implement effective child safety practices. This project will produce an interactive multimedia behavior change program that teaches injury prevention skills to parents of children aged 6 through 11 years, tailored to child age (6-7, 8-9, and 10-11 years), home and neighborhood environment, and child recreation/sports choices. The program will be designed for home, worksite, medical office, schools, day care and community agency settings. Based on The Injury Prevention Program (TIPP), knowledge-based print materials created by the American Academy Pediatrics, this program will combine Social Learning Theory, the Health Belief Model, and the Theory of Reasoned Action to add behavior change theoretical approaches to injury prevention intervention efforts. Expanding on the successful Phase I program covering household safety and pedestrian safety for parents of children aged 6-7, the Phase II program will create household and pedestrian safety materials for all child age groups and cover additional topics as outlined in the TIPP program, including team sports, water safety, winter recreation safety, wheeled sports, and motor vehicle passengers. The final product will be in Internet/intranet, CD-ROM, and DVD formats in an effort to provide access to the materials for a broad variety of users. The program will be evaluated in randomized clinical trial with a behavioral observation component with 240 parents of school-aged children. Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability in children in America. Most injuries can be prevented when parents implement effective child safety practices. This project will create a behaviorally based program to teach parents what to do to prevent injuries to their school aged child, in an effort to reduce the number of injuries, hospitalizations, medical costs, and missed work days.
