title: Reach of a kiosk-based pediatric injury prevention program.
abstract: While controlled trials are important for determining the efficacy of public health programs, implementation studies are critical to guide the translation of efficacious programs to general practice. To implement an evidence-based injury prevention program and examine program use and completion rates in two implementation phases, Safe N' Sound, an evidence-based program, was implemented in five pediatric clinics. Data on program use were collected from program files and patient census data. Program use averaged 12.1% of eligible patients during implementation and 9.5% during the continuation phase. Program completion averaged 9.7% and 6.5%, respectively. Findings from this study can inform the dissemination of evidence-based public health programs, particularly in practice-based clinical settings.
