Based on the local incidence and severity of motor vehicle occupant injuries, the authors' community and hospital injury prevention partnership identified child passenger safety for 4-to-8-year-old children as a priority. They designed a booster seat promotion campaign using an integrated social cognition model of health behavior. A series of focus groups were held with low-income African American, Somali, and Vietnamese parents to understand determinants of booster seat use in these communities. Deficits in understanding about the purpose of booster seats were seen in all groups, and concerns about cost and self-efficacy varied in important ways. Although legislation is an important tool in motivating child passenger restraint, most families saw safety as the prime reason to use booster seats with their children. These results illustrate the use of qualitative data to adapt a theory-based intervention to the needs of specific communities.
基于当地机动车驾乘人员受伤的发生率和严重程度，作者所在社区与医院的伤害预防合作组织将4至8岁儿童的乘客安全确定为优先事项。他们使用健康行为的综合社会认知模型设计了一项增高座椅推广活动。与低收入非裔美国人、索马里人和越南裔父母举行了一系列焦点小组讨论，以了解这些社区中增高座椅使用的决定因素。所有群体都存在对增高座椅用途理解不足的问题，对成本和自我效能的担忧在重要方面存在差异。尽管立法是促使儿童使用乘客约束装置的重要工具，但大多数家庭将安全视为与孩子一起使用增高座椅的主要原因。这些结果说明了如何利用定性数据使基于理论的干预措施适应特定社区的需求。
