Correct use of a child safety seat (CSS) can reduce the risk of fatal motor vehicle crash-related injury by up to 71%; however, misuse rates for CSS are as high as 70%. We recruited 189 caregivers at 2 large suburban pediatric office practices; 94 in the intervention group and 95 in the control group. All participants completed a baseline survey and received a CSS safety brochure. Intervention participants had their CSS installation checked at enrollment by a certified child passenger safety (CPS) technician. Follow-up was conducted 4 months post enrollment. Intervention group participants had a 21.3% reduction in critical misuse at follow-up, whereas control participants critical misuse rate at follow-up was identical to the intervention group at baseline. A consult with a certified CPS technician, at the time of a routine visit to the pediatrician, resulted in a reduction in CSS misuse rates.
正确使用儿童安全座椅（CSS）可将与机动车碰撞相关的致命伤害风险降低多达71%；然而，CSS的误用率高达70%。我们在两家大型郊区儿科诊所招募了189名看护人；干预组94人，对照组95人。所有参与者均完成了基线调查并收到一份CSS安全手册。干预组参与者在入组时由认证儿童乘客安全（CPS）技术人员检查其CSS安装情况。在入组4个月后进行随访。干预组参与者在随访时严重误用率降低了21.3%，而对照组参与者在随访时的严重误用率与干预组在基线时相同。在儿科医生进行常规就诊时与认证CPS技术人员进行咨询，可降低CSS的误用率。
