Basic choking education to improve parental knowledge.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on parental knowledge of choking hazards and prevention.

Methods: A quasi experimental study was performed utilizing an internet based educational video intervention for parents with a child 6 months to 4 years old presenting to a Pediatric Otolaryngology clinic at a Level 1 pediatric hospital. Following the clinic visit, participants were sent a choking video (intervention) or general safety video (control) with a pretest and posttest knowledge survey (via email).
