Dr. Charles Jennissen, of the University of Iowa Department of Emergency Medicine presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 12, 2012. The study objective was to determine the ATV anticipatory guidance practices of primary care providers, as well as their attitudes, knowledge, and the barriers faced in educating families about the risk of ATV use. Methods: An electronic survey was administered to primary care providers belonging to Iowa state medical societies. Results: More than 60% of respondents (N=218) believed that providing ATV anticipatory guidance was important. However, 78% gave ATV safety counseling less than 10% of the time during regular pediatric exams, and only 12% did so greater than 25% of the time. Families rarely ask providers for advice on ATV safety issues; 84% of providers were asked once a year or less. ATV knowledge scores were low (median score 2 of 12); however, those with previous ATV exposure had significantly higher scores. Many respondents affirmed insufficient knowledge (47%) and inadequate resources (63%), but the most commonly identified barrier was that it was not a routine part of their practice.
This study analyzed 345 patients with ATV-related injuries from 2002-2009 to better understand crash mechanisms and factors related to passengers. Rollovers (42%) and collisions (20%) were common mechanisms. Passengers increased risks of rollovers, especially backward rollovers on slopes, and falls/ejections to the rear. Rearward ejections were linked to more severe head injuries. Strict enforcement of no-passenger rules could help reduce crashes and injuries. Improved data collection and educational approaches targeting passenger dangers were recommended.
Gerene Denning, of the University of Iowa Department of Emergency Medicine, presented this at CPSC’s ATV Safety Summit Oct. 11, 2012. The study objective was to determine the effectiveness of an in-classroom ATV safety education program that targets younger adolescents and highlights the 10 STARs --Safety Tips for ATV Riders. Methods: An audience response system was utilized to obtain data before and after the educational sessions. A one year follow-up written survey was administered. Results: About 2000 students in thirteen Iowa schools received the ATV safety program; 10 schools participated in the follow-up study. On the three knowledge questions, pre-intervention correct scores were 52%, 27% and 46% which rose to 93%, 80% and 79% on post-exam, respectively. Immediately after the program, 44% said they were likely or very likely to use the ATV safety tips, while 36% said they were unlikely or very unlikely to do so. One-year follow-up knowledge question scores were 77%, 45% and 58%. Lower percentages of students reported having ridden on an ATV with passengers or on a public road in the year following the education program. There were no differences in helmet use. Conclusion: Although it's unclear if ATV safety behavior definitely improved, the classroom educational intervention was able to increase short and long term safety knowledge. Repeated interventions may improve both knowledge retention and safety behaviors.

This document summarizes the results of a survey of 203 Texas motorcyclists about their safety gear use. Key findings include:
- 52% of motorcyclists killed in Texas in 2012 were not wearing basic safety equipment like helmets.
- The top reasons for wearing helmets were protection, weather, and habit. Top reasons for not wearing helmets included lack of importance, feeling better without one, and weather.
- The incentives most likely to increase gear use were information about injury prevention and crash survival rates with/without gear as well as social pressure from friends and family.
- The survey provides insights to help educate riders about gear benefits and promote increased usage through targeted messaging.

It provides recommendations to improve uptake, including targeted outreach in areas of low uptake, improving data collection on ethnicity and disability, and conducting further equity audits.
The document summarizes key findings from surveys distributed to 5000 households in two rural health regions of Manitoba, Canada. The surveys gathered information on residents' preferences for accessing mental health supports and barriers to care. Key results included:
- Respondents preferred accessing help from books, websites, and individual counseling over group programs or computer-based treatment.
- Top barriers to seeking help were wanting to handle problems independently and feeling issues were not severe enough. Other barriers included cost concerns, wait times, and lack of available services.
- Factors making help-seeking more likely included being able to directly contact providers, providers having mental health training and living in the community.

Staff introduction for CPSC workshop on third party testing cost reduction through possible material determinations. Provides workshop agenda, background, and workshop goals
The document discusses 16 CFR Part 1633, the open flame standard for mattresses established by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) effective July 2007. It outlines the test parameters, which include exposing the top and sides of a mattress to an open flame for 70 and 50 seconds respectively then collecting heat release data for 30 minutes. The standard is failed if heat exceeds 200kW at any time or total heat released in the first 10 minutes exceeds 15MJ. The document then describes flame-retardant (FR) barrier fabrics available for use in mattresses, including nonwoven, knit, and laminate options that allow mattresses to pass 1633 requirements.
Overview of testing, certification, and record keeping requirements for consumer products, including children's products.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission held a workshop on April 3, 2014 to discuss potential ways to reduce the costs of third party testing for product safety compliance while still ensuring safety. The workshop included a panel of representatives from consumer advocacy groups and industry associations and allowed for public comments. Attendees were reminded that the views expressed were those of participants and not official government policies.
This document discusses coordination between the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regarding import safety. It outlines how CPSC monitors imports for compliance, triggers for inspections, common violations seen, and opportunities for importers to improve compliance through programs like Importer Self Assessment. The goal is facilitating legitimate trade while expediting the import process and identifying safety issues through data sharing and targeted inspections.
The document discusses how the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reviews consumer product imports at US ports. It provides statistics on the detention rate and most common violations found. It also describes CPSC's pilot risk assessment system, which aims to improve hazard detection at ports and reduce unnecessary detentions and product recalls. The system integrates risk data from shipments, past cases, screening history, injuries, and commercial sources to model enforcement strategy. Expected benefits include saving lives and facilitating legitimate trade while minimizing costs.

Cam Arnold, Vice-President of the Right Rider Access Fund, presented this at CPSC’s ATV Safety Summit Oct. 11, 2012. The Right Rider Access Fund sponsored "Do the Ride Thing", an ATV and dirt bike safety video contest, in collaboration with the ATV Safety Institute and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. "Do the Ride Thing" enhances young riders' knowledge of the "Golden Rules" of ATV safety while empowering them to communicate safety messages to their peers through their own PSA video. The contest, in its third year, ran from June 1 to August 15, 2012 and offered 19 prizes totaling $8,500. Students ages six to 18 could enter. Creating a safety video that highlights one or more of ASI's "Golden Rules" is a great way to motivate and inform the public - especially kids and their parents - about the safe and responsible use of all-terrain vehicles. The contest harnesses the social networking power of YouTube and it gives kids the opportunity to "Do the Ride Thing" and help other kids ride safe/ride smart.
This presentation provides information from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission about all-terrain vehicle (ATV) safety. It discusses the CPSC's role in protecting consumers from unsafe products, and why ATV safety is important. The presentation covers topics like where ATVs can be legally ridden, requirements for riders and passengers, ensuring all operators are properly trained, and tips for buying an ATV. Resources on ATV safety statistics, public service announcements, and publications are also provided. The overall goal is to educate about ATV safety and encourage sharing safety information with others.

Jim Helmkamp, Senior Epidemiologist for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Western States Office, presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 12, 2012. State-specific ATV fatality rates were compared between 1990-1999 and 2000-2007 grouping states according to helmet, and training and licensure requirements (per SVIA state ATV requirement charts). 2,226 deaths occurred from 1990-1999 at a rate of 0.09 deaths per 100,000 population and 7,231 deaths from 2000-2007 at a rate of 0.32. Male rates were at least six times higher than female rates. Males accounted for about 86% of the deaths overall. Children under 17 years accounted for over one-third of the deaths in the earlier period decreasing to about 17% in the latter. The number of deaths increased 225% from the earlier period to the latter with a three-fold increase in the death rate. There was little collective difference between rates for states with or without helmet requirements and between states with or without training and licensure requirements. Policy-oriented prevention strategies over the past decade seem to have largely failed. This failure may be due to lack of enforcement and the casual attitude of many ATV riders to not wear a helmet or take training.
This presentation on fire reduction strategies for residential furniture details the role of flame retardants and compares usage and analysis in various jurisdictions.
Telehealth – the ability of patients to connect with their health care providers via video and phone – has taken off during the COVID-19 pandemic. Community Health Center, Inc. and its research arm, the Weitzman Institute, commissioned Sacred Heart University’s Institute for Public Policy to survey 1,000 Connecticut residents on their views about this emerging, and now essential, technology.
The survey found that patients with rare diseases face long delays in diagnosis, seeing multiple doctors and receiving misdiagnoses. At the time of diagnosis, many patients report not receiving enough information or not understanding what they were told. Most respondents feel that general practitioners, pediatricians and even specialists lack adequate knowledge about rare diseases. Access to treatment, specialists and support is also limited, and the majority of patients incur significant personal costs for care of their rare disease, averaging $14,400 annually outside Quebec.

Dr. Charles Jennissen, of the University of Iowa Department of Emergency Medicine presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 11, 2012. The study objective was to determine adolescent exposure to ATVs and their riding behaviors. Methods: A survey was administered to ~3,100 students, mostly 11-15 years of age, as part of an in-classroom ATV safety program. Results: Participants were distributed between urban (38%), rural (24%), and isolated rural (38%) communities. 85% reported riding an ATV at least a few times a year and 31% reported riding at least once a week. For those exposed, 92% had ridden with more than one person, 81% had been on a public road, and over 60% reported never or almost never wearing a helmet. 54% engaged in all three unsafe behaviors; 2% engaged in none. 59% had been in at least one ATV crash. Students from isolated rural communities were more likely to have ridden an ATV in the last year relative to their peers, but the likelihood of a crash was not different by rurality. Increased crash likelihood was seen for males and for youth engaged in multiple risky behaviors. Conclusions: A high percentage of youths in Iowa have been exposed to ATVs, engage in unsafe behaviors, and have experienced a crash. Significant efforts are needed to reduce ATV-related deaths and injuries in this high-risk pediatric population.
2014 trends survey of child health care professionals on HPV vaccinations GRIVEAS ASSOCIATES
Between September and December 2014 we have conducted a global online survey to 45,000 children healthcare professionals to identify discrepancies and regional trends on everyday practice, compliance with guidelines, education gaps and preferred education sources in a number of areas including, HPV and Meningitis Vaccinations, Rare Diseases, Breastfeeding and Skincare.
667 healthcare experts, mostly general pediatricians (45.24%) responded from 84 countries. Most respondents were clinically active at general hospitals (29.89%), children’s hospitals (23.65%), private practice (18.7 %), university (17.77 %), and primary care (7.26%).
On November 5th, J.D. Power will be publishing the first Telehealth Satisfaction Study. Some key findings include:
- Only 9.6% of health consumers have used telehealth in the past 12 months.
- Top barriers for non-users were being unaware it was an option, wanting to see a provider in person, and concern over quality of care.
- Factors like cost, provider access to records, and service security would increase likelihood of future telehealth use.
- 72% of non-users would try telehealth if their cost was less than a doctor's office visit.
- A survey of 492 caregivers of adults with autism spectrum disorder was conducted to assess needs.
- The majority of respondents were mothers (75.1%), married (58.3%), Caucasian (87%), and had at least some college education (47.7%).
- On average, those surveyed had children who were 25 years old, male (79.7%), and lived at home with parents (74.1%). Over 40% of children had an autism diagnosis and over 30% had an intellectual disability.
The document summarizes a student's community health internship project examining car seat safety compliance using the Theory of Planned Behavior framework. Key findings include:
- Rates of rear-facing car seat compliance were high at 87% based on a survey of 110 parents/caregivers.
- Factors like education level, income, and doctor recommendations influenced compliance levels.
- The Theory of Planned Behavior was highly predictive of intentions and behavior, while the Health Belief Model showed no significance with the measures used.
- Further outreach is needed targeting non-compliers, low education/income groups, and emphasizing rear-facing to age 2 recommendations.
This document summarizes the results of a poll of Florida voters about issues related to children and families. It provides details on the methodology, demographics of Florida voters, and ratings and rankings of different policy proposals. The top two ranked proposals were providing health insurance to all children and providing developmental screening and treatment. While most voters supported related campaigns and initiatives, less than half were willing to pay higher taxes or take active roles in advocacy. The document appears to be analyzing public opinion to inform policymaking and advocacy efforts regarding children and family services in Florida.
The document summarizes updates from the Robert Graham Center. It discusses the Center's charge to conduct research that informs policy for family physicians. It then introduces some of the Center's team members and their areas of focus. Several areas of the Center's current work are highlighted, including tools to analyze healthcare workforce trends, proposals to better incentivize primary care, ensuring accountability for graduate medical education funding, and evaluating the patient-centered medical home model.
Spina Bifida Association of Kentucky research presentation- Kristen RayKristen Ray
Healthcare providers are still not adequately informing expectant mothers about spina bifida when delivering the initial diagnosis. A survey of 65 expectant or new mothers found that providers often overestimate the severity of prognosis and do not provide sufficient information or referrals to support organizations. As a result, mothers feel unprepared to explain the diagnosis or make treatment decisions. They rely heavily on their own research and connecting with support groups. The study implications are that healthcare provider education and legislation could help ensure mothers receive up-to-date, accurate information to make fully informed choices.
Anna Heard from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation presented results from formative research on HIV self-testing in Kenya. The research found high acceptability of HIV self-testing, especially among men and never-tested individuals. While some concerns around privacy, accuracy and potential abuses were raised, little evidence of actual harms was found. The studies tested different distribution channels and messaging strategies, identifying health facilities as a preferred option. The research aims to inform upcoming HIV self-testing pilot programs and impact evaluations in multiple countries.
3ie HIV Oral Self Testing Summary February 2015Cheryl Johnson
Formative research was conducted in Kenya to inform the design and implementation of HIV self-testing pilots. The research found high acceptability of HIV self-testing, especially among men and never-tested individuals. While some concerns around potential abuses were raised, little evidence of actual harms was found. Public health facilities were the preferred location for distribution and linkage to counseling and confirmatory testing. Based on these findings, 3 randomized controlled trials of HIV self-testing pilots were launched in Kenya to evaluate impacts, with the goal of expanding pilots and evaluations to Zambia and another country.
The document describes RAAPS, a web-based risk screening tool for adolescents. RAAPS was developed at the University of Michigan to identify risk behaviors contributing to injury and death in teens.

20. Conclusions
Primary providers in Iowa have limited knowledge of
ATV safety and laws, and most provide little or no
anticipatory guidance on ATV injury prevention.
Families do not recognize primary providers as
sources of ATV safety advice.
However, providers indicated an importance and
interest in providing more guidance.
The major barrier was “not part of their regular
practice”.
20
21. Conclusions
Healthcare providers could play a more central
role in promoting ATV safety if armed with
increased knowledge and appropriate
resources.
Educational methods that help overcome
perceived barriers are likely to be most effective
21
22. Deaths And Injuries From ATV Crashes
Are Preventable!
To prevent deaths and injuries and their accompanying
financial costs, we need:
• EDUCATION and Public Awareness
• ENGINEERING Safer Vehicles
• ENFORCEMENT of Evidence-Based Public Health and
Safety Laws
It takes all stakeholders working together.
