“…Survey topics were selected to expand on qualitative themes gathered from the focus group data, such as caregivers’ role in the installation process, parents’ assessment of perceived risks and benefits of installing a car seat correctly, parents’ attitudes about current resources available to help install a car seat, and parents’ values regarding content and features that could be included in a mobile app to guide CRS installation. Survey items addressing these topics were adapted from other validated CPS measures in the literature [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. To establish content validity of the instrument, a panel of CPS and mobile app design experts from the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Safe Kids Worldwide, and Drexel University Applied Informatics Groups (N = 5) reviewed and offered suggestions for revision.…”

Childhood death from vehicle crashes and the delivery of information about proper child restraint systems (CRS) use continues to be a critical public health issue. Safe Seat, a sequential, mixed-methods study identified gaps in parental knowledge about and perceived challenges in the use of appropriate CRS and insights into the preferences of various technological approaches to deliver CRS education. Focus groups (eight groups with 21 participants) and a quantitative national survey (N = 1251) using MTurk were conducted. Although there were differences in the age, racial/ethnic background, and educational level between the focus group participants and the national sample, there was a great deal of consistency in the need for more timely and personalized information about CRS. The majority of parents did not utilize car seat check professionals although they expressed interest in and lack of knowledge about how to access these resources. Although there was some interest in an app that would be personalized and able to push just-in-time content (e.g., new guidelines, location and times of car seat checks), content that has sporadic relevance (e.g., initial installation) seemed more appropriate for a website. Stakeholder input is critical to guide the development and delivery of acceptable and useful child safety education.

“…Although there is concern that safety behaviors may be overestimated, there is data to support that selfreports of ownership of a car seat are reliable. 16,17 There is an inexact match between the SNS questions and E-codes. As a pilot study there was not enough power in the current number of patients screened and injured to establish statistical significance.…”

“…The questionnaire used was developed specifically for this study by members of the research team familiar with Kuwaiti safety laws and culture, by seeking relevant survey tools in the literature (e.g., Hernandez, B., 2008;Snowdon et al, 2009;Uherick, Gorelick, Biechler, Brixey, & Melzer-Lange, 2010) and then adapting or generating items to better address the local situation and the research objectives. The questionnaire was pilot tested with 25 adults from the general population.…”

Child safety restraints can reduce risk of death and decrease injury severity from road traffic crashes; however, knowledge about restraints and their use in Kuwait is limited. A cross-sectional, self-administered survey about child car safety was used among a convenience sample of parents of children aged 18 years or younger at five Kuwaiti university campuses. Of 552 respondents, over 44% have seated a child in the front seat and 41.5% have seated a child in their lap while driving. Few parents are aware of and fewer report using the appropriate child restraint; e.g., 36% of parents of infants recognised an infant seat and 26% reported using one. Over 70% reported wearing seat belts either "all of the time" (33%) or "most of the time" (41%). This new information about parents' knowledge and practice regarding child car seat use in Kuwait can inform interventions to prevent child occupant injury and death.

Validation of two child passenger safety questionnaires

Abstract: Both the booster seat questionnaire and the car seat questionnaire are valid and can be reliably used in future studies. The findings of this study need to be verified with larger studies and different populations.
