Objective: To determine feasibility and explore effects of literacy promotion using e-books versus board books on the home reading environment, book reading, television use, and child development.
Methods: Randomized controlled trial comparing digital literacy promotion (DLP) using e-books to standard literacy promotion (SLP) using board books among Medicaid-eligible infants. DLP participants received e-books on home digital devices, while SLP participants received board books at well visits between 6 and 12 months of age.
Objective: To determine if early literacy promotion, which consisted of board books and reading promotion beginning with newborns, is more effective than standard literacy promotion beginning at 6 months.
Study Design: Hybrid type 1 randomized controlled implementation trial of Medicaid-eligible newborns. Prior to 6 months of age, early literacy promotion participants received board books and reading promotion at well visits plus weekly text messages on reading, while standard literacy promotion participants only received weekly text messages on safety.
Are mHealth Interventions to Improve Child Restraint System Installation of Value? A Mixed Methods Study of Parents.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
September 2017
Article Synopsis
- - Childhood deaths from vehicle crashes highlight the urgent need for improved education on child restraint systems (CRS), with research revealing gaps in parental knowledge and challenges regarding usage.
- - A mixed-methods study conducted via focus groups and a national survey found a consistent demand for timely, personalized information about CRS among parents, despite variations among participants in age, race, and education level.
- - Most parents were unaware of car seat check professionals and showed interest in a personalized app for CRS information, although they believed more static content like initial installation guidelines would be better suited for a website.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to quantify and identify correlates to the amount of parent-supervised behind-the-wheel practice hours by novice teen drivers.
Methods: A national survey of 945 parents of recently licensed teen drivers was conducted. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors related to the number of practice hours completed.
Background: Increased belt-positioning booster seat (BPB) awareness and access have led to increased use in the USA. Although transportation in Beijing is rapidly becoming 'motorised', Beijing's population has limited awareness of or access to BPBs.
Objective: To explore the efficacy and acceptability of using a US-developed BPB use promotion intervention in Beijing.
Background: Many parents with low educational attainment prematurely graduate their children to seat belt restraint rather than use belt-positioning booster seats. This study aimed to identify interventions that promoted booster seat use among this population.
Methods: This multi-site study used focus groups to elicit contributing factors to booster seat non-use, which informed subsequent intervention development.
