The Effect of Primary Care Interventions on Children's Media Viewing Habits and Exposure to Violence
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Violence
In brief
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents receive anticipatory guidance about violence prevention as part of the routine well child visit. Educational resources are needed to help physicians routinely provide these important anticipatory guidance messages. In this study, consecutive parents will be exposed to routine anticipatory guidance messages before the well child visit with the physician. After the clinic visit, parents will be invited to participate in a research study to determine if they plan any changes at home. The key research question of this study is: Can a brief multimedia program (i.e. Play Nicely program) and/or the AAP Connected Kids brochure, entitled, "Pulling the Plug on TV Violence", help parents develop plans to decreases their children's exposure to violence in the media (e.g. less media time, no TV in the bedroom)?
