Clinical Trial Summary

Specific Aim 1 - In collaboration with partners in Ross County, renovate and develop playgrounds in Chillicothe.

Specific Aim 2 - In collaboration with partners in Ross County, promote safe play and play areas for children on farms.


Description:

Injury is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among children in the United States. Because children spend much of their time playing, it is important that they have safe play environments where they can challenge themselves and develop physically, mentally, and socially. The SPARK Project will focus its intervention in Ross County, Ohio, an area with more than 930 farms. Prior to this project, relatively little has been done to promote the prevention of injuries to children who live and play on farms.

The specific aims of this project are as follows:

- In collaboration with partners in Ross County, renovate and develop playgrounds in Chillicothe, Ohio.

- In collaboration with partners in Ross County, promote safe play areas for children on farms.

The SPARK Project will employ a multi-faceted approach to injury prevention, centered on community partnership and collaboration. Utilizing methodology that was successfully developed and implemented as part of the Community Action for Playground Safety (CAPS) Program in Columbus, the SPARK Project will combine both active and passive injury prevention strategies to reduce playground and play-related farm injuries to children in Ross County.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Identified playground hazards The investigators hypothesize that the decrease in the number of identified playground hazards (comparing each playground to itself from the year 1 baseline survey to the year 3 follow-up survey utilizing a playground hazards checklist) will be significantly greater for the intervention playgrounds compared with non-intervention playgrounds in Circleville, Pickaway Co. Year 1 baseline to year 3 follow-up No
Secondary Playground Safety Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Scores The investigators hypothesize that the improvement in the playground safety KAP survey scores from the baseline in year 1 to the follow-up in year 3 will be significantly greater for parents residing in Chillicothe than for parents in the non-intervention city (Circleville). Year 1 baseline to Year 3 follow-up No
Secondary Identified farm hazards The investigators hypothesize that the decrease in the number of identified farm play area hazards (comparing each farm to itself from the year 1 baseline survey to the year 3 follow-up survey utilizing a farm play area hazards checklist) will be significantly greater for the intervention farms compared with non-intervention farms in Pickaway Co. Year 1 baseline to Year 3 follow-up No
Secondary Farm Safety Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Scores The investigators hypothesize that the improvement in the KAP survey scores regarding farm play area safety from the baseline in year 1 to the follow-up in year 3 will be significantly greater for parents on farms in Ross Co. than in the non-intervention county (Pickaway). Year 1 baseline to Year 3 follow-up No
