Philadelphia Children's Hospital Funding Regarding Children and Car Crashes
CDC’s Injury Center is funding the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to examine risk factors and outcomes for children ages 8-15 years who were involved in motor vehicle crashes. Researchers are interviewing parents to learn about their typical use of child restraints and the particular restraint in use at the time of the crash.
Interview questions also assess the parent’s understanding of child restraint laws in their state and explore how the motor vehicle crash has affected the child's daily life. This information will be considered with data about the types of injuries sustained in the crash, the child’s position in the car, and demographic characteristics of the child and driver.
This research is part of an ongoing surveillance system that is a collaborative effort between researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance. The study will shed light on the impact of motor vehicle crashes on children’s daily lives. Results will be used to improve prevention strategies.
