Abstract

Background: Despite recommendations and laws for child restraint use in motor vehicles, evidence of low restraint use remains, and there is a lack of evidence addressing the effectiveness of restraint use education.

Objective: This project aims to measure the impact of an education initiative on child passenger restraint use.

Methods: This pre- and postintervention study was conducted in six elementary schools in a Southwestern U.S. metropolitan area over 5 months from October 2022 to March 2023. Motor vehicle restraint use was collected from occupants arriving at elementary schools during the morning drop-off times. Participants were provided one-on-one education regarding child passenger safety guidelines and state laws. Comparison data were collected 1-3 weeks later at the same schools to evaluate the education provided.

Results: A total of 1,671 occupants in 612 vehicles were observed across six schools, with 343 adults and 553 children preintervention and 306 adults and 469 children postintervention. Overall restraint adherence in children improved postintervention from 42.3% to 56.1%, a 32.6% increase (p = < .001). In the primary age group of 4-8 years, restraint adherence improved postintervention from 34.8% to 54.2%, a 55.8% increase (p = <.001).

Conclusions: The study results demonstrate that one-on-one education increases child passenger restraint use.

评估儿童乘客约束装置使用教育。

背景：尽管有关于在机动车辆中使用儿童约束装置的建议和法律，但仍有证据表明约束装置的使用率很低，而且缺乏关于约束装置使用教育有效性的证据：本项目旨在衡量一项教育措施对儿童乘客使用约束装置的影响：从 2022 年 10 月到 2023 年 3 月，在美国西南部大都会地区的六所小学进行了为期 5 个月的干预前和干预后研究。研究人员收集了上午放学时段到达小学的乘员使用机动车约束装置的情况。参与者接受了有关儿童乘车安全指南和州法律的一对一教育。1-3 周后在同一所学校收集对比数据，以评估所提供的教育：六所学校共观察了 612 辆车中的 1671 名乘客，其中干预前有 343 名成人和 553 名儿童，干预后有 306 名成人和 469 名儿童。干预后，儿童遵守约束措施的总体比例从 42.3% 提高到 56.1%，提高了 32.6%（p = 结论）：研究结果表明，一对一教育提高了儿童乘客约束装置的使用率。
