Comparative StudyEvaluation of a novel Web-based pediatric advanced life support course.
To assess the educational efficacy of a Web-based pediatric advanced life support course (Web-PALS). ⋯ Students perceive Web-PALS as a positive educational experience. Though not identical to students taking the Trad-PALS course, they performed well on postcourse cognitive and psychomotor testing. These findings support Web-PALS as an acceptable format for administering the PALS course.

Comparative StudyEffectiveness of child safety seats vs seat belts in reducing risk for death in children in passenger vehicle crashes.
To provide an estimate of benefit, if any, of child restraint systems over seat belts alone for children aged from 2 through 6 years. ⋯ Based on these findings as well as previous epidemiological and biomechanical evidence for child restraint system effectiveness in reducing nonfatal injury risk, efforts should continue to promote use of child restraint systems through improved laws and with education and disbursement programs.
