Maternal Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavioral Intention after Exposure to Injury Prevention Recommendations in the News Media.

Introduction: Injury prevention recommendations are frequently presented in the media. Parental understanding and response to these recommendations remain uninvestigated.

Methods: A nationally representative sample of 1,081 mothers completed a cross-sectional survey measuring knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intention after watching/reading video news stories and print articles on two child safety topics.

Bicycle-related injuries among children treated in US emergency departments, 2006-2015.

Objective: One of the leading causes of non-fatal injury among children is bicycling. Past studies indicate that helmets are protective against bicycle-related injuries and involvement of motor vehicles is associated with severe injuries, but research utilizing a nationally representative data set for this population and focusing on these risk factors does not exist. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of bicycle-related injuries among children treated in hospital emergency departments (EDs) in the United States (US).

A randomized controlled trial to evaluate the Make Safe Happen® app-a mobile technology-based safety behavior change intervention for increasing parents' safety knowledge and actions.

Background: Many unintentional injuries that occur in and around the home can be prevented through the use of safety equipment and by consistently following existing safety recommendations. Unfortunately, uptake of these safety behaviors is unacceptably low. This paper describes the design of the Make Safe Happen® smartphone application evaluation study, which aims to evaluate a mobile technology-based safety behavior change intervention on parents' safety knowledge and actions.

Strategies for reducing cancer incidence and mortality in African American and Arab American and Chaldean communities in the Detroit metropolitan area.

Objectives: We studied the feasibility of implementing a community-based participatory process (CBPP) that addressed cancer education, prevention, and screening in 2 ethnic minority populations by evaluating the improvement in rates of cancer screening compared with historical benchmarks.

Methods: From 2003 to 2009, 2281 community members participated in CBPPs conducted by the Beaumont Cancer Institute in cooperation with the Arab American and Chaldean (AAC) Council, the National Cancer Institute, and the American Cancer Society. The study population consisted of 1067 individuals who completed a postcancer forum survey: 642 from the African American (AA) and 425 from the AAC forums.

Faced with declining reimbursement for infusional therapies, an oncology practice turned to physician dispensing to offset the loss. Its leaders quickly discovered that the dispensing-vendor landscape was limited, and few guidelines existed for product line development. Yet the approach offers a competitive response to the changing health care landscape.
