Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents receive anticipatory guidance about violence prevention as part of the routine well child visit. Educational resources are needed to help physicians routinely provide these important anticipatory guidance messages. In this study, consecutive parents will be exposed to routine anticipatory guidance messages before the well child visit with the physician. After the clinic visit, parents will be invited to participate in a research study to determine if they plan any changes at home. The key research question of this study is:

Can a brief multimedia program (i.e. Play Nicely program) and/or the AAP Connected Kids brochure, entitled, "Pulling the Plug on TV Violence", help parents develop plans to decreases their children's exposure to violence in the media (e.g. less media time, no TV in the bedroom)?

Control

Parents in control group experienced a routine primary care visit.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Control Group

Intervention Type OTHER

Standard care in primary care clinic.

Handout intervention

Caregivers assigned to the hand-out group were instructed to read the AAP hand-out "Pulling the Plug On TV Violence." This 2 page hand-out emphasizes the negative effect that television has on children's behavior and makes recommendations about limiting media. The RA did not supervise the reading of the handout.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This handout is two pages and is part of the Connected Kids Program, American Academy of Pediatrics

Multimedia intervention

Caregivers assigned to the multimedia group were instructed to watch "Recommendation 3: Decrease Exposure to Violence" from the Play Nicely program, a 5 minute video in English and Spanish that teaches caregivers about the negative impact of violent media and instructs parents about the importance of limiting media. The intervention was presented to the parents on a mobile laptop computer.
