Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
of their families, the seminar will be open to everyone. Research reports that too many infants and children are not properly restrained when riding in vehicles. Even those infants
and children who are in car seats or booster seats are often in danger because either the infant/child is not placed in the seat correctly or the car seat itself
is not installed properly. Data from the 2007 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reveals that Hispanics are less likely to have their infant or child properly restrained in
the vehicle. The report reads: "Hispanic children under 13 years old have lower restraint use rates (use of child safety seats, booster seats, and seat belts) than non-Hispanic children" (NHTSA,
2008, p. 1). The data reveal that African-American and Hispanic families are less likely to use restraints in all age categories (NHTSA, 2008). When proper restraints are used, infants and
children are far less likely to be harmed or killed in a motor vehicle accident. The community-based education project qualifies as a primary prevention/health promotion project because the use
of proper child restraints reduces the number of injuries and deaths in children 14 and under. Fatalities of infants and children have decreased significantly over the past decade (NHTSA, 2008).
The greatest decrease was in the infant group, under the age of one year, falling from about 900 deaths per year in 1996 to just over 600 in 2006 (NHTSA,
2008). However, infants still have the highest number of fatalities than any other age group (NHTSA, 2008). We have all been exposed to the media broadcasts discussing the use of
proper child restraints over these years, which suggests that education, more knowledge about the dangers to children will motivate more parents to use properly installed car seats. Of course, laws
