Abstract:

The child restraint device (CRD) loaner programs in Tennessee were evaluated. In-Lerviews were conducted with loaner program clients in Memphis, Chattanooga, and Knoxville. Administrators of programs in all three sites also were interviewed. The programs in Memphis and Chattanooga were sponsored by their respective health departments and were limited to use by low-income families; in Knoxville, the program was sponsored by a community organization (Jaycees/Jaycettes) and was available to any family wanting to participate. Clients were asked their opinions in the areas of child passenger safety, health and safety, government intervention, and loaner programs; administrators were asked about program procedures with an emphasis on effectiveness and efficiency. Clients were classified by location of program, method of acquisition, CRD use status, CRD posession status, income level and interview method. In general, both clients and administrators were supportive of the loaner program concept and the specific procedures, although various suggestions for improvement were offered. Although the highest rate of CRD acquisition resulted from an intensive attempt (with personal contacts) to secure loaner program participation, the highest rate of use was for self-selected participants. Support for manditory restraint use laws for both children and adults was higher than the rate of restraint use with either group. Opinions were varied about who should be able to use loaner programs and the procedures which should be used, with most clients favoring conditions similar to their own exteriences. Difficulties with publicizing the loaner programs were encountered in every site, but all program directors were able to modify their approaches to meet target group needs. /Abstract from report summary page/
