title: The impact of behavioral risk assessments and tailored health information on pediatric injury.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Integrating age appropriate injury prevention messages during a well-child visit is challenging in the face of competing demands.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To describe a 7-month pilot using technology to facilitate injury prevention risk assessment and education integration.
  
  
  METHODS
  We prospectively tracked responses to the computer-based injury prevention self-assessment tool, safety product distribution, and any subsequent contact with the local hospital system for related unintentional injuries.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 2091 eligible visits by 1368 unique patients were assessed. Eight hundred forty-three unique patients completed the Safe N' Sound assessment and 7 were subsequently injured, with an injury related to a Safe N' Sound target area.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A kiosk-based tailored injury assessment tool can be successfully integrated into a busy pediatric practice. Unintentional injury outcomes can be linked to the tailored anticipatory guidance and can identify the effectiveness of this electronic integration of injury prevention messaging into well-child examinations.
