Brief Summary

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

The hypothesis was that the implementation of a Safe Kids East Central brain injury prevention program targeting children and caregivers admitted to the Georgia Health Sciences University Children's Medical Center is feasible and that short-term treatment effects of injury prevention education on the child or adolescent and the caregiver will increase bicycle helmet use.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The overarching goal of this project is to reduce traumatic brain injury in children and adolescents by promoting bicycle helmet use via an inpatient educational program. The Safe Kids East Central injury prevention educational program was customized for hospitalized subjects and their caregivers. The investigators hypothesized that this program would increase bicycle helmet use.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

education intervention

The intervention delivered education about the benefits of bicycle helmet use and safety and was designed to be sensitive to the age and educational level of the study participant.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

education intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The brain injury prevention education intervention included case scenarios as well as education about the benefits of bicycle helmet use. The intervention was designed to be sensitive to the age and educational level of the study participant and his or her parents. Educational materials were chosen to provide use of the five senses to enhance the learning experience. The intervention took place in the privacy of the patient's hospital room. The study was designed so as not to interfere with the hospital standard of care.

The proper way to fit the bicycle helmet was demonstrated.

control

Printed materials were given to the control group, along with a helmet for each participant.
