Concussion Awareness Training Tool for Parents, Players & Coaches : Evaluation Report

The purpose of this evaluation for CATT was to determine if attitudes and knowledge were significantly improved among parents with a child registered in an organized sport following completion of CATT. Parents were recruited to complete pre and postintervention surveys designed to measure changes in attitudes and knowledge around concussion recognition and management. The survey was administered using FluidSurveys (www. fluidsurveys.com), a secure Canadian online survey company. Participants completed the survey before the intervention (before completing CATT) and subsequently completed the same survey again 3 to 4 months post intervention. A total of 35 parents completed the study. The recruitment period for this study was extended due to low response rates.Medicine, Faculty ofPediatrics, Department ofOther UBCUnreviewedFacultyResearche

Too Hot for Tots! : Evaluation of a Paediatric Burns Prevention Resource

The aim of this study is to evaluate Too Hot for Tots! in its ability to change knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) around the perception of burn risk, and to highlight burn prevention efforts that can be taken by parents and caregivers of children less than 5 years of age. The objectives of this evaluation are to determine: 1) if the Too Hot for Tots! video and brochure package presented in a public health setting effectively promotes change in parental KAP regarding burns prevention in the home; and 2) if the Too Hot for Tots! brochure package is as effective in promoting change as compared to a presentation in a public health setting as a primary resource.Medicine, Faculty ofPediatrics, Department ofOther UBCUnreviewedFacultyResearche

Review of International Best-Practices for Improving Child Passenger Safety and Evaluation of Saskatchewan’s Program

The purpose of this report is the evaluation of the Saskatchewan Child Passenger Safety Program, addressing the following six evaluation questions: 1. How does the Saskatchewan model compare to international best‐practices? 2. Does the Saskatchewan model increase usage of child passenger restraints? 3. Does the Saskatchewan model increase PROPER usage of child passenger restraints (to be assessed with both increased knowledge of proper usage AND improved behaviour)? 4. Do the demographics of caregivers involved in Saskatchewan interventions match the demographics of the Saskatchewan population? Are there segments of the population being missed? 5. Is there a match between the caregivers targeted by the Saskatchewan model, and the parents/guardians of the children injured in motor vehicle collisions? If not, what other method (from the international best‐practice review) could be used to target these parents/guardians? 6. What is the cost‐effectiveness of the Saskatchewan model? a. Are the interventions cost‐saving measures? b. Is there a return on investment of the interventions being used to improve child passenger safety?Medicine, Faculty ofOther UBCPediatrics, Department ofUnreviewedFacultyResearche

Richmond School District Evaluation : District-wide Education and Awareness

The Richmond School District in British Columbia and Dr. Shelina Babul of the B.C. Injury Research and Prevention Unit, BC Children’s Hospital, collaborated on the development of a concussion management protocol and district-wide education and awareness, based upon the Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT) resource. CATT is intended to support standardized concussion response and management, and includes toolkits with self-paced learning modules and other tailored resources for various audiences. CATT for School Professionals provides educators and school administrators with resources for supporting a student in his/her integration back to school after sustaining a concussion or how to respond to a situation where a student may have sustained a concussion in the school setting. This collaboration resulted in the creation of a district-wide concussion protocol, a tailored concussion response poster promoting the CATT Concussion Pathway, and professional development sessions for educators (administrators, teachers, support staff) on concussion which were held February 15th during the Richmond School District Conference – 2019.Medicine, Faculty ofPediatrics, Department ofOther UBCUnreviewedFacultyResearche

Collaboration, Training and Resources to Support School Policy Development and Recovery from Concussion

Objective: Concussion is a public health concern across all ages, yet there is little research on providing concussion education and training within the educational context. The Concussion Awareness Training Tool for School Professionals (CATT SP) was developed to provide the neces-sary concussion education and resources for school professionals to support a student with con-cussion while integrating back to school. Methods: The CATT SP module underwent a 2016 pre/post-intervention evaluation to determine if knowledge and attitudes significantly improved among educators and administrators following completion of the CATT SP, as well as a 2018-19 pilot study within a school district in British Columbia with an accompanying Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement assessment. Results: A statistically significant positive change in knowledge (p = .027) was found among those who indicated that they had accessed CATT SP. Results of the pilot study and QA/QI assessment found support of the use of CATT within the school district. Conclusions: Evidence-based concussion training and resources are key components for school professionals who are collaboratively supporting a student’s individualized return to school and learning following a concussion, and when developing and implementing a concussion policy within districts and school.Medicine, Faculty ofPediatrics, Department ofReviewedFacultyResearche

Safe Kids Week 2002 "Kids On Wheels" Program Evaluation

Safe Kids Canada is the national injury prevention program of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. The mission of Safe Kids Canada is to prevent injuries by educating the public about injury prevention, and by working to create safer environments. Safe Kids Canada promotes injury prevention through a range of resources, services and initiatives including Safe Kids Week, an annual national safety campaign. The 2002 Safe Kids Week campaign, "Got Wheels? Get a Helmet!" focused on preventing injuries among kids on wheels (bicycles, skateboards, scooters, and in-line skates). The objective was to raise awareness among Canadian parents and change their behavior in relation to safety practices, particularly the use of helmets. This report is an evaluation of this event.Medicine, Faculty ofPediatrics, Department ofNon UBCUnreviewedFacultyResearche
