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.
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.
