INFANT PASSENGER RESTRAINT EDUCATION STUDY

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。要衡量的具体概念是，与不包括动手部分的教育课程相比，包括动手演示和对新的精神运动技能（正确安装汽车座椅）的返回演示的教育干预，将更有效地帮助家长保持学习。要测试的假设是：给予一个标准化的教育计划，其中包括动手的部分，家长将展示正确安装和使用儿童乘客约束装置。这项研究将在一个时间点上提供有关干预效果的数据。从这项研究中获得的知识将有助于制定有效的儿童乘客安全教育计划，并支持这些计划的资金申请。更多的父母接受有效的教育将导致更多的孩子得到适当的约束。这将导致更少的儿童在机动车事故中严重受伤和死亡。它将提供证据，支持预防性保健的成本效益。这将对减少在我国高速公路上死亡和严重受伤的儿童人数产生直接影响，并将导致改善儿童及其家庭的生活质量。研究于2003年11月获得机构审查委员会的最终批准。自那时以来，CRC一直没有提供临床支持，目前正在安排替代这种支持。这些措施包括利用本科护理专业学生帮助招募参与者，提供教育干预的教学部分，寻找存放汽车座椅的空间和提供教育。招募参加者的预定时间为2004年4月，干预活动将于5月或6月开始。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The specific concept that will be measured is that an educational intervention that includes a hands-on demonstration and return demonstration of a new psychomotor skill (correct car seat installation) will be more effective in helping a parent retain the learning than an educational session that does not include the hands-on component. The hypothesis to be tested is: given a standardized education program, which includes a hands-on component, a parent will exhibit proper installation and use of a child passenger restraint in a vehicle. This study will provide data about the effect of the intervention at a single point in time. The knowledge obtained from this study will be useful for developing effective child passenger safety education programs, and in supporting requests for funding for these programs. More parents receiving effective education will result in more children being properly restrained. This will lead to less children being seriously injured and killed in motor vehicle crashes. It will provide evidence to support the cost effectiveness of preventive health care. This will have a direct impact on reducing the number of children killed and seriously injured on our highways, and will lead to improved quality of life for children and their families. Study received final institutional IRB approval in November, 2003. Clinical support from CRC has not been available since then, and arrangements to replace that support are being made. These include using an undergraduate nursing student for help in recruitment of participants and providing the didactic portion of the educational intervention, and finding space for storage of the car seats and provision of the education. Targeted start time for recruitment of participants is April 2004, with the interventions commencing May or June.
