Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Car seat check-up traditional car seat educational method
Experiment-1a: This included 600 expectant parents who were educated by a certified child passenger safety technician with a traditional car seat educational approach. All participants were assessed at baseline, no-intervention traditional education, and follow-up, between June 1, 2015 and May 30, 2016
Experimental: Behavioral Skills Training In-person Group A
Experiment-1b: This included another 600 expectant parents who were educated by a certified child passenger safety technician an in-person Behavioral Skills Training (BST) approach. All participants were assessed at baseline, BST, and follow-up, between June 1, 2016 and May 30, 2017.
Other: Behavioral Skills Training In-person
Both an in-person and virtual telehealth version of Behavioral Skills Training (BST) was compared to the "Car seat check-up traditional car seat educational method" and BST telehealth was compared to BST in-person.
Other Names:
  • Behavioral Skills Training Telehealth
Experimental: Behavioral Skills Training In-person Group B
Experiment-2a: This included another 600 expectant parents who were educated by a certified child passenger safety technician an in-person Behavioral Skills Training (BST) approach. All participants were assessed at baseline, BST, and follow-up, between June 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019.
Other: Behavioral Skills Training In-person
Both an in-person and virtual telehealth version of Behavioral Skills Training (BST) was compared to the "Car seat check-up traditional car seat educational method" and BST telehealth was compared to BST in-person.
Other Names:
  • Behavioral Skills Training Telehealth
Experimental: Behavioral Skills Training Telehealth
Experiment-2b: This included another 600 expectant parents who were educated by a certified child passenger safety technician a virtual telehealth version of Behavioral Skills Training (BST). All participants were assessed at baseline, BST-Telehealth, and follow-up, between April 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021.
Other: Behavioral Skills Training In-person
Both an in-person and virtual telehealth version of Behavioral Skills Training (BST) was compared to the "Car seat check-up traditional car seat educational method" and BST telehealth was compared to BST in-person.
