Abstract |
Injury prevention is an essential part of any trauma program. Trauma Nurses Talk Tough (TNTT) is an injury prevention program utilized at many trauma centers targeting school-aged children from kindergarten through 12th grade. We hypothesized that TNTT would increase knowledge of safety strategies and change behavior with a prospective, correlational study using TNTT for 6th- to 8th-grade (n = 372) and 9th- to 12th-grade (n = 158) students, respectively. The TNTT injury prevention program had an effect on all students of 6th to 12th grades; however, the effect was more pronounced in the 6th- to 8th-grade group. Language: en |
