“…From there on, 34 articles were reviewed in full article text and further 26 paper were being excluded as there were no description on the health education intervention delivery methods in detail and remaining studies setting were only mentioned in full text that it was done outside primary care setting. Therefore, the final paper included in this review was 8 papers (6,9,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Summary of the results are presented in the PRISMA flow chart in the…”

“…Specific prescription of health education given during routine health checks and linked to developmental abilities of children are shown to be more acceptable to parents as compared to general safety advice (8). Study has shown that injury prevention education can be effectively delivered to families in clinic setting by utilizing time spend in waiting room (9).…”

Background: Unintentional injuries to children have significant impact on child mortality and mortality. Health education is one of the important strategies in the childhood injury prevention which involve various methods and techniques. The aim of the review is to provide narrative findings of systematic review of different methods of delivery for health education intervention to reduce unintentional childhood injuries among parents and caregivers in primary care setting. Methods: The systematic review was guided by PRISMA guidelines. The searched databases included Medline, CINAHL, PubMed, ProQuest and Ovid. All report titles and abstracts were screened using pre-defined criteria. Peer-reviewed journal and grey literature published from 1 January 2010 to 31 May 2020 were included. Two independent reviewers select studies, extracted data, checked accuracy, assessed risk of bias and assessed the quality of each article selected. Articles were included if they were peer-reviewed and published in English language. Data was extracted and analysed using narrative synthesis approach. Results: 325 articles were identified during initial search strategy. Duplicates were removed and article were screened by title and abstract. Final eight articles were selected and reviewed. Risk of bias for each study were assessed using Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. The systematic review synthesized the characteristics of the selected studies and features of delivery methods of health education intervention. All the reviewed paper concluded their intervention was effective in achieving their objectives which is improving the knowledge, attitude, and safety practice for injury prevention. Majority of the intervention supplemented their education intervention with printed materials such as pamphlets and booklets. Half of the intervention were delivered by healthcare professionals. This review provides fresh narrative evidence on the latest delivery methods for health education in injury prevention to the parents and caregivers. Conclusion: Majority of the studies reported using a combination of various methods of delivery in their intervention and proven to be effective. However, there is a gap in term of use of technology and economic evaluation of each methods that can be addressed in future research and practice. Study registration: The study was registered with PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Review (CRD:42020202753).

“…The study authors concluded there is significant value in the provision and use of safety products (Phelan et al, 2011). Yet recent data from a pediatric clinic suggest even freely-distributed safety items are not always used at home (Habermehl et al, 2019). Identifying "most used" items and focusing on the distribution of these higher-yield items in the future could increase the odds that families use the items they receive from a safety center or MSC.…”

Evaluation of a mobile safety center's impact on pediatric home safety knowledge and device use

et al. 2020

Background: A Mobile Safety Center (MSC) is designed to remove financial accessibility barriers to home safety by providing education and safety devices within local communities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an MSC on pediatric home safety knowledge and device use. Methods: We conducted a prospective home safety interventional study. Parents and grandparents with children at home were recruited at community events attended by the MSC. Participants completed a pre-test survey assessing demographics and current home safety knowledge, practices, and device use. Participants then attended the MSC's short home safety educational program. Afterwards, participants completed a knowledge reassessment post-test and were offered free safety devices: a smoke detector, a gun lock, and a childproofing kit comprising outlet covers, doorknob covers, and cabinet latches. We administered two follow-up surveys four weeks and six months after visiting the MSC. Descriptive statistics, Friedman tests, Wilcoxon Sum-Rank tests, and Pearson Chi-Square were used to assess respondent demographic characteristics and changes in home safety knowledge, practices, and device use. Results: We recruited 50 participants, of whom 29 (58%) completed follow-up 1, 30 (60%) completed follow-up 2, and 26 (52%) completed both. Participants who completed both follow-ups increased total correct answers to safety knowledge questions between the pre-test and post-test (p = 0.005), pre-test and follow-up 1 (p = 0.003), and pre-test and follow-up 2 (p = 0.012) with no significant changes between the post-test, follow-up 1, and follow-up 2. Of the respondents who reported accepting safety products, outlet covers were used most frequently, followed by the smoke detector, doorknob covers, cabinet latches, and the gun lock. Conclusions: The MSC may be an effective means of increasing home safety among families with children, as participation in the MSC's home safety educational program significantly increased home safety knowledge and spurred home safety device use. Implementation of MSCs could potentially reduce childhood injury rates within communities through promotion of home safety.

A variety of civic actors-government, associations, and local agencies-work to help parents advance the vitality of our youngest children. Empirical findings accumulating over the past half-century identify benefits for infants and toddlers stemming from three policy models: paid leave for parents after a newborn arrives; regular pediatric assessments, including home visiting; and quality caregivers situated in homes or centers. We review what is known about the effects of these policies, along with constituent elements of quality (mediators) that operate proximal to children's health, cognitive, and emotional growth. Much has been learned about how such collective action, carried out by local organizations, advance infant-toddler development. Methodological advances foster new knowledge: moving closer to causal inferences and pinpointing social mechanisms that enrich infant-toddler settings. Less well understood is how policy levers can move the malleable elements of program quality to raise the magnitude or sustainability of program effects. We note the benefits of income-support efforts for fragile families, while urging new work on how economic dynamics touch the capacity of parents and caregivers to better nurture infants and toddlers.
