PROS Safety Check Study
AIMS


The Safety Check study will evaluate the effectiveness of brief patient screening and counseling procedures that are easy to incorporate into a routine check-up in a busy primary care office. Practices will be randomly assigned to one of two study groups. One group will receive training and tested educational materials to incorporate violence prevention into standard practice, and the other will receive educational materials on encouraging reading aloud, another topic important to the provisions of services for healthy child development.


SPECIFIC AIMS:

Core support for the PROS network is provided by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration Maternal and Child Health Bureau
