Evidence-Based Practice |
| Description |
Incentive and education programs reward parents for correctly using child safety seats or directly reward children for correctly using safety seats. These programs also include education that varies with regard to content, duration and intensity, and methods used.
The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends interventions that use incentive and education programs based on strong evidence of their effectiveness in increasing safety seat use. |
| Results / Accomplishments |
Results from the Systematic Reviews:
Four studies qualified for the systematic review.
• Baseline rates of safety seat use: 26 percentage points (interquartile interval: 11 to 48 percentage points; 4 studies)
• Observed child safety seat use (assessed between 1 and 4.5 months after programs were conducted): median increase of 9.9 percentage points (interquartile interval: 4.8 to 36 percentage points; 4 studies)
• Programs were started in day care centers and community-wide among a variety of target populations (children and parents, all socioeconomic groups, urban and rural populations, white and African-American populations) with similarly positive effects. |
