Intervention model description: This study is a quasi-experimental within-subjects group design. It consists of two experiments that included an equal number of participants.
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of child passenger educational methods to measure their ability to effectively reduce car seat misuse. The study will assess the traditional child passenger educational method delivered by a child passenger safety technician by comparing it to an in-person and virtual telehealth Behavioral Skills Training approach to reduce car seat misuse.

Detailed description: This study of 2,449 expectant couples involved two experiments. Experiment-1: included 1,224 participants, comparing 600 participants receiving no intervention and 600 participants receiving education with behavioral skills training (BST) in-person.

Experiment-2: included 1,224 participants, comparing 600 participants receiving BST-in-person to BST with telehealth.
