Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialEffects of improved access to safety counseling, products, and home visits on parents' safety practices: results of a randomized trial.
To present the results of an intervention trial to enhance parents' home-safety practices through pediatric safety counseling, home visits, and an on-site children's safety center where parents receive personalized education and can purchase reduced-cost products. ⋯ Home visiting was not effective in improving parents' safety practices. Counseling coupled with convenient access to reduced-cost products appears to be an effective strategy for promoting children's home safety.
