In 1990, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Injury and Poison Prevention issued a policy statement, "Safe Transportation of Newborns Discharged from the Hospital," recommending that hospitals adopt comprehensive policies, procedures and education programs for the discharge of newborns in child safety seats (CSSs). The purpose of this project was to determine if a statewide educational intervention based on the AAP statement would be effective in bringing about those recommendations in Nebraska hospitals. All hospitals providing newborn services in Nebraska were surveyed prior to and after the intervention to determine the nature and extent of their CSS discharge policies, patient education programs and loan programs. Post-intervention data indicate significant increases in the percentage of hospitals having formal infant CSS discharge policies (from 25.9% to 88%), providing CSS patient education (from 51% to 95%), and having safety seat loan/give-away programs (from 59% to 76%). It is concluded that a comprehensive, statewide educational program can influence hospitals to promote usage of, access to, and education with infant CSSs.
1990年，美国儿科学会（AAP）伤害与中毒预防委员会发布了一项政策声明，即《医院出院新生儿的安全运输》，建议医院针对使用儿童安全座椅（CSS）出院的新生儿制定全面的政策、程序和教育计划。本项目的目的是确定基于美国儿科学会声明的全州范围教育干预措施是否能有效促使内布拉斯加州的医院落实这些建议。在内布拉斯加州，对所有提供新生儿服务的医院在干预前后进行了调查，以确定其CSS出院政策、患者教育计划和借用计划的性质和范围。干预后的数据显示，制定正式婴儿CSS出院政策的医院比例（从25.9%增至88%）、提供CSS患者教育的医院比例（从51%增至95%）以及设有安全座椅借用/赠送计划的医院比例（从59%增至76%）均显著上升。得出的结论是，一项全面的全州范围教育计划能够影响医院，促使其推广婴儿CSS的使用、获取及相关教育。
