The objective of this study was to determine the impact of a community based fire prevention intervention directed only to parents on the fire safety knowledge and behavior in elementary school children. This was a prospective, quasi-randomized controlled study in which third and fourth grade students from two elementary schools in an urban, poor, minority community completed knowledge/behavior surveys at baseline and following completion of the intervention. The intervention group received an in-home visit from fire department personnel who installed free lithium smoke detectors and provided a fire escape plan. After accounting for a small difference in baseline summary scores of knowledge and behavior between the control and intervention groups, this study found a modest improvement in fire safety behavior among children whose families received a fire prevention intervention reflecting a change in household fire safety practices. However, there was no significant change in fire safety knowledge.
本研究的目的是确定仅针对家长的社区火灾预防干预措施对小学生消防安全知识和行为的影响。这是一项前瞻性、准随机对照研究,来自城市贫困少数族裔社区两所小学的三、四年级学生在基线时以及干预完成后完成了知识/行为调查。干预组接受了消防部门人员的家访,他们安装了免费的锂烟雾探测器并提供了火灾逃生计划。在考虑了对照组和干预组之间知识和行为基线汇总分数的微小差异后,本研究发现,家庭接受火灾预防干预的儿童在消防安全行为方面有适度改善,这反映了家庭消防安全做法的变化。然而,消防安全知识没有显著变化。
