Abstract:

Many parents with low educational attainment prematurely graduate their children to seat belt restraint rather than use belt-positioning booster seats. This study aimed to identify interventions that promoted booster seat use among this population. Focus groups were used to elicit factors contributing to booster seat nonuse, which informed subsequent intervention development. A first phase (12 focus groups, n=107) identified parents’ perceived barriers, benefits, and threats relating to booster seats. These findings were used to identify existing and create new interventions. A second phase (16 focus groups, n=142) elicited parents’ reactions to these interventions and provided parents with belt-positioning booster seats and education on their use. Lack of education and fear of injury were the primary barriers to booster seat use. Parents were motivated by interventions that provided clear, concrete messaging relating to use. Parents favored the intervention that presented a real story detailing a child’s severe injury that could have been prevented with appropriate restraint. At follow-up, parents credited this intervention with motivating booster seat use most often. Although parents cited their children’s lack of comfort and noncompliance as barriers to use, they were not as motivated by interventions that addressed these barriers. Effective intervention programs can be created by identifying and addressing factors that contribute to a population’s intention to use belt-positioning booster seats. In addition, successful programs must use messages that motivate the target population by addressing their perceived threats to booster seat nonuse.
