We evaluated the short-term effect of a community-based effort to promote child rear seating in a low-income Hispanic community.
Child seating patterns were observed pre- and postintervention at intersections in 1 intervention and 2 control cities. Brief interviews assessed exposure to program messages.
Child rear seating increased from 33% to 49% in the intervention city (P <.0001), which represented a greater increase than that in the control cities (P <.0001). The greatest improvement was observed in relatively higher-income areas. Rear seating was significantly correlated with reported program exposure. Incentives and exposure to the program across multiple channels seemed to have the greatest effect.
Independent of legislation, community-based programs incorporating incentives can increase child rear seating.
我们评估了在一个低收入西班牙裔社区开展的以社区为基础的促进儿童后排乘车安全座椅使用工作的短期效果。
在1个干预城市和2个对照城市的十字路口对干预前后儿童乘车座位模式进行了观察。通过简短访谈评估对项目信息的接触情况。
干预城市中儿童后排乘车安全座椅使用率从33%提高到了49%(P<.0001),这一增幅大于对照城市(P<.0001)。在相对较高收入地区观察到最大改善。后排乘车安全座椅使用率与报告的项目信息接触情况显著相关。激励措施以及通过多种渠道接触项目似乎产生了最大效果。
独立于立法之外,纳入激励措施的社区项目可以提高儿童后排乘车安全座椅使用率。
