Abstract

"The purpose of this QI project was to improve car seat safety anticipatory guidance by a pediatric primary care provider during well-child visits from newborn to age 13 years and, subsequently, increase parental knowledge and adherence to car seat safety guidelines. The purpose and aims of the project relate to the following PICOT question: In a pediatric primary care clinic (P), how does the implementation of an evidence-based car seat safety handout at well-child visits for newborns to age 13 years (I), compared to current practice (C), affect parental knowledge of car seat safety (O) at two months post-implementation (T)? The specific aims of this QI project were: 1. A 20% increase in parental knowledge of car seat safety following the intervention was measured by a pre-and post-test. 2. Ten percent of parents will report plans to have a car seat safety check with a child passenger safety technician (CPST), measured by a survey on the post-test. 3. The evidence-based car seat safety handout will be used for 50% of well-child visits for newborns to age 13 years old."--Statment of Purpose.
