“…Other research has targeted traffic safety behaviors for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians (e.g., Austin et al, 1998;Austin et al, 2006;Crowley-Koch et al, 2011;Huybers et al, 2004;Van Houten, 1988;Van Houten & Nau, 1981, 1983Van Houten et al, 1985;Van Houten et al, 1980;Van Houten & Retting, 2001;Van Houten & Rolider, 1988;VanWagner et al, 2011;Yeaton & Bailey, 1978, 1983, with safety-belt use being a common target. Finally, ABA research has also addressed gun safety (e.g., Gross et al, 2007;Himle et al, 2004;Miltenberger et al, 2004;Miltenberger et al, 2005), child safety (Carrow et al, 2020;Dancho et al, 2008;Dickson & Vargo, 2017;Himle & Wright, 2014;Jones et al, 1981;Mathews et al, 1987;Peterson, 1984), and safe sex (Carrigan et al, 1995;Honnen & Kleinke, 1990;Montesinos et al, 1990). Most of these studies employed behavioral skills training or component packages (Montesinos et al, 1990;Peterson, 1984) and others used antecedent interventions involving prompts (e.g., Austin et al, 1998;Austin et al, 2006;Carrigan et al, 1995;Crowley-Koch et al, 2011;Honnen & Kleinke, 1990).…”

Human behavior plays a central role in all domains of public health. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) research and practice can contribute to public health solutions that directly address human behavior. In this paper, we describe the field of public health, identify points of interaction between public health and ABA, summarize what ABA research has already contributed, and provide several recommendations for how ABA research and practice could continue to promote public health outcomes. A clearer focus on behavior and widespread adoption of research designs and interventions informed by the ABA literature could lead to better public health outcomes. Reciprocally, better integration of public health goals and strategies into ABA research, harnessing of technology, and more collaboration would help diversify and disseminate our applied science and could yield more effective and scalable interventions to prevent and treat public health problems.

“…Over the past 15 years, a growing body of research has shown BST to be an effective teaching model for individuals with disabilities (Ledbetter‐Cho et al., 2019; Thomas, Lafasakis, & Spector, 2016), young children (Dickson & Vargo, 2017; Tai & Miltenberger, 2017), college students (Hankla, Kohn, & Normand, 2018; Stocco, Thompson, Hart, & Soriano, 2017), parents or caregivers (Conklin & Wallace, 2019; Dogan et al., 2017), and educators (Hogan, Knez, & Kahng, 2015; Lerman et al., 2019). Skills taught during BST for educators have included learning the picture exchange communication system (PECS; Homlitas, Rosales, & Candel, 2014), discrete trial teaching, incidental teaching, and activity schedules (Fetherston & Sturmey, 2014).…”

Preservice and novice teachers often identify behavior management as an area of weakness that they attribute to a lack of sufficient instruction during their teacher preparation. Behavioral skills training (BST) is an evidence‐based teaching methodology based on the principles of applied behavior analysis used to teach new skills. This study investigated the use of BST in the university setting to teach undergraduate preservice teachers enrolled in a field‐based special education course to implement a token economy during small group instruction with children. A single‐case research design was used to assess the effectiveness of using BST by evaluating accuracy of implementation before and after BST. Results showed BST was an effective teaching procedure and social validity measures collected from the preservice teachers indicated BST was acceptable to all participants. Limitations and needs for future research are discussed.

“…Experiment 3 was designed to train children to avoid touching packages they found on school property, leave the area, and tell an adult what they found. This behavioral chain has been taught to young children regarding gun safety (e.g., Miltenberger et al, 2005) as well as poison, lighter, and abduction safety (e.g., Vanselow & Hanley, ), and lockdown drill procedures (Dickson & Vargo, ).…”

Law enforcement agencies stress that public reporting of terror-related crime is the predominant means for disrupting these actions. However, schools may be unprepared because the majority of the populace may not understand the threat of suspicious materials or what to do when they are found on school grounds. The purpose of this study was to systematically teach preschool children to identify and report suspicious packages across three experiments. In the first experiment, we used multiple exemplar training to teach children to identify the characteristics of safe and unsafe packages. In the second experiment, we taught participants to identify the locations where packages should be considered unsafe. Finally, in the third experiment, we used behavioral skills training to teach participants to avoid touching unsafe packages, leave the area where they were located, and report their discovery to an adult. Results suggest the participants quickly developed these skills. Implications for safety skills in young school children are discussed.
