4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to determine if video education is an effective means of caregiver education in the waiting room of a pediatric emergency department (ED). This will be tested with the showing of a child passenger safety video.
The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a tensioning progress indicator light to achieve proper harness tensioning in child safety seats.
This study involves an emergency department (ED)-based intervention utilizing Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques and patient-centered eHealth materials (e.g., a tailored, mobile-friendly website and text messages) to promote the correct and consistent use of size-appropriate child passenger restraints (car seats, booster seats, and seat belts). This study is designed as an adaptive randomized controlled trial, recruiting English and Spanish speaking caregivers of children 6 months to 10 years old.
This study compares a video-based social learning method to the traditional didactic method as a new way to teach caregivers about child passenger safety, including how to install a car seat. Half of the caregivers will attend the video-based social learning class, while the other half will attend the traditional didactic class. The investigators hypothesize that the video-based social learning method will lead to an equal or greater increase in caregiver child passenger safety proficiency when compared to the traditional didactic method.
