Evidence-Based Practice |
| Description |
Community-wide information and enhanced enforcement campaigns include mass media, information and publicity, public displays about safety seats, and special strategies such as checkpoints, dedicated law enforcement officials, or alternative penalties (e.g., informational warnings instead of citations).
The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends community-wide information and enhanced enforcement campaigns based on sufficient evidence of their effectiveness in increasing child safety seat use. |
| Results / Accomplishments |
Results from the Systematic Reviews:
Four studies qualified for the review.
• Child safety seat use: increased by a median of 12 percentage points (interquartile interval: 3.8 to 21 percentage points; 4 studies)
• Studies involved populations at all socioeconomic levels (i.e. race, age, income) and in settings including cities, suburbs, and states.
• Design and implementation of campaigns involved community organizations and government agencies, such as public safety and public health groups, schools, advocacy organizations and parent groups. |
