OBJECTIVE
The authors attempted to remedy the current lack of empirically evaluated dog-bite prevention programs for children under 7 by assessing children's learning success with the "Blue Dog" CD.
METHODS
Ninety-six 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-year-old children used the interactive CD in an initial exposure phase, a training and a testing phase. Half received verbal feedback, and the other half additional practice with parents. All children were re-tested after 2 weeks.
RESULTS
There were significant increases in safe choices after the training phase at all ages, with older children performing better than younger children. Children still retained their ability to make safe choices after 2 weeks. Interestingly, children practicing with parents performed better than others when under 6 years. Verbal feedback did not play a role, the CD is equally effective without.
CONCLUSIONS
Children learned successfully about safe behavior with dogs; thus, the CD can help educate children about dog-bite prevention.
目的
作者试图通过评估儿童对“蓝狗” CD 的学习成果来弥补当前缺乏针对 7 岁以下儿童的经实证评估的防狗咬伤预防计划的不足。
方法
96 名 3、4、5 和 6 岁的儿童在初始暴露阶段、培训阶段和测试阶段使用互动 CD。一半的儿童接受口头反馈，另一半儿童与父母一起进行额外的练习。所有儿童在两周后进行重新测试。
结果
在所有年龄段的培训阶段后，安全选择的数量都有显著增加，年龄较大的儿童表现优于年龄较小的儿童。两周后，儿童仍然能够做出安全选择。有趣的是，6 岁以下的儿童与父母一起练习的表现优于其他儿童。口头反馈没有起到作用，没有口头反馈 CD 同样有效。
结论
儿童成功地学习了有关与狗安全相处的行为；因此，CD 可以帮助教育儿童预防狗咬伤。
