title: Childhood Injury Prevention: Predictors of Home Hazards in Latino Families Enrolled in SafeCare®.
abstract: This archival project (a) examined potential risk and protective factors for hazards in the homes of Spanish-speaking immigrant Latino families and (b) provided an independent examination of the SafeCare®+ Home Safety module adapted for Latino families at high risk for child neglect.
  
  
  
  The sample comprised 92 Latina caregivers of young children enrolled in SafeCare®+.
  
  
  
  Results of the negative binomial regression model of predictors of home hazards before the Home Safety module found none of the factors were significant. The longitudinal analysis with a negative binomial model found significant effects both during (b = -0.905, p < .001) and after (b = -2.118, p < .001) the intervention. Depression was negatively associated with the number of hazards (b = -0.026, p < .05, β = -.1858).
  
  
  
  Support for application of SafeCare®+ Home Safety module to prevent access to hazards for Latino children was found.
