Findings that rate moderate or high in this manuscript
No findings found that rate moderate or high.
The families who participated were receiving services from Project 12-Ways, which has a contract with the State of Illinois Child Protective Services Agency to provide a range of services, including home accident prevention services.
Rural southern Illinois.
The intervention implemented in this study was a Home Safety Education Package. An audio slide-show presented information on five categories in a fixed order: (1) poisoning by solids and liquids; (2) suffocation by mechanical objects; (3) fire and electrical hazards; (4) suffocation by ingested objects; and (5) firearms. Each category was presented twice. Category 4 was only introduced to the family if the child was crawling, and category 5 was presented only if firearms or ammunition was recorded at baseline. Following the audio slide-show presentation, safety accessories for the category and the review manual for the category were provided. Families also received self-feedback stickers that parents could place on storage areas that were accessible to their children.
