Strategies

Educate parents and caregivers about proper use of car seats and reward parents and/or children for correct use

Provide at-risk expectant parents and families with young children with information, support, and training regarding child health, development, and care from prenatal stages through early childhood via trained home visitors

Support use of in-vehicle devices that alert novice teen drivers when they have high g-force events (e.g., rapid acceleration, braking, or turning) and allow families to review driving performance

Expand medical school training and learning experiences focused on the skills necessary to practice successfully in rural areas
