abstract="Objectives: This study analyzes the content presented in drowning prevention handouts available on the internet. Methods: Online, printable handouts were included if Google, Yahoo, and MSN all identified it within the first 20 hits of key word searches. The content of each handout was unitized and units were assigned one of nine predetermined codes by two independent raters. Results: Nineteen handouts were included. Interrater reliability was Kappa = 0.851. Most coded units described &quot;environment&quot;, (33%), followed by &quot;supervision&quot; (17%) and &quot;drowning facts&quot; (16%). &quot;Education&quot;, &quot;gear&quot;, &quot;other&quot; and &quot;emergency response&quot; were all mentioned regularly. The least represented messages were &quot;policy&quot; and &quot;entrapment&quot;. Most hand outs had acceptable readability for the general population (around 7(th) grade level) and asthetic appeal/organization was generally high. Conclusion: Overall, on-line handouts for child drowning prevention appear to provide consistent, appropriate messages, although some are more appealing than others. Practice Implications: A variety of pediatric drowning prevention handouts are available online that would be appropriate handouts for physician offices, however handouts should be evaluated before selecting one for use with patients.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
