Parent Training in Child Safety Practices

描述（由研究人员提供）：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中和院子里，父母可以通过实施有效的儿童安全措施来预防。该项目将制作一个互动多媒体（IMM）节目，向0-2岁儿童的父母教授儿童伤害预防技能。根据用户的家庭环境，家庭情况和儿童年龄，该程序将被设计用于家庭或医疗办公室设置。第一阶段项目将为6-12个月儿童的父母开发一个光盘IMM程序，涵盖美国儿科协会建议的三个内容领域（汽车乘客安全、福尔斯和中毒）。该计划将在一项随机试验中进行评估。第二阶段的发展将扩大内容，包括：（a）涵盖其余六个内容领域（火灾和烧伤，枪支安全，溺水，窒息和窒息，尖锐物体和重物，以及电力）的额外单元，（B）所有三个儿童年龄范围（即，0-6月，6-12个月，12-24个月，（c）书面材料的父母总结的关键内容，和（d）书面信息的医疗服务提供者对程序的使用。最终产品将在 Internet/Intranet、CD-ROM和DVD-ROM交付格式。

DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability in 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 child age, the program will be designed for use in home or medical office settings. The Phase I project will develop a CD-ROM IMM program for parents of children aged 6-12 months covering three of the content areas suggested by the American Association of Pediatrics (automobile passenger safety, falls, and poisoning). The program will be evaluated in a randomized trial. Phase II development will expand content to include: (a) additional units covering the remaining six content areas (fires and bums, firearm safety, drowning, suffocation and choking, sharp objects and heavy objects, and electricity), (b) all three child age-ranges (i.e., 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months, (c) written materials for parents that summarize key content, and (d) written information for medical providers on program use. Final product will be in Intemet/Intranet, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM delivery formats.
