Assessment
Population
Define the population and describe the
population using appropriate data from
reliable resources
Health need
Relate this to findings from your
windshield survey and/or community
assessment
Diagnosis
Knowledge deficit related to ____
(i.e. the need for flu shots on an annual basis,
limited experience with disabled adults in the
community, etc.)
Planning
Title of the educational program
 Your title should be attractive and
appropriate to the target audience
Describe your target audience
(i.e. worksite employees at X location, adults
attending PTA conferences, etc.)
Identify learning activity outcomes
 At the completion of this activity, the
learner will be able to…
Complete this column with information about
your plan
The target population is children that ride in their cars
ages infant to 18years of age and the adults that are
responsible for them. In 2005, seat belts, air bags,
and child safety seats saved over 11,000 lives in the
U. S. alone; unfortunately nearly 10,000 more lives
could have been saved if all passengers’ vehicle
occupants had buckled up (NHTSA, 2011).
More from my experience then windshield survey.
Working in the ER just this week I had an 11 year
who had abdominal injuries from a seat belt
following a major motor vehicle Crash. This could
have been prevented with proper restraint being
used for his age weight and height.
Knowledge deficit related to Child Safety: Proper
installation and appropriate use of child safety seats
and recommended safety guidelines provided by
the National Highway and Safety Administration.
Child Safety Seat Check Event
The target population is children that ride in their cars
ages infant to 18years of age and the adults that are

transporting in their car.

Identify Healthy People 2020 related
goals and specific objectives (list both
the number and title of the goals)
For example:
 Goal: Increase immunization rates and
reduce preventable infectious diseases.
 Objective: IID-12.5 - Increase the
percentage of noninstitutionalized adults
aged 18 to 64 years who are vaccinated
annually against seasonal influenza


Goal: The Use of Child Safety Seats:
Distribution and Education Programs—
Recommendations to reduce injuries to motor
vehicle occupants: increasing child safety seat
Use, increasing safety belt use, and reducing
alcohol-impaired driving. (Community
Prevention Task Force, 2001).
Objective: ECBP-10.1 Increase the number of
community-based organizations (including
local health departments, Tribal health
services, nongovernmental organizations, and
State agencies) providing population-based
primary prevention services injury (Healthy
People 2020, 2015).
Health teaching
Identify interventions used from the
Public Health Nursing Intervention
 We will communicate facts and ideas about
Wheel
safe travel in motor vehicles.
 Describe how your project used each
 We will teach skills to adults to safely
intervention you chose
transport children when riding in a car
 We will change attitudes, beliefs, and
behaviors towards using appropriate child
safety seats and seat belts when traveling in a
car.
Outreach
 We will advertise in the local paper and
daycares along with churches and schools to
reach the population we seek.
 We will offer dates for services that are
available for the upcoming local event and
also other events offered in the next
community
Describe teaching strategies to be used
(i.e. Lecture, Community Forum, Bulletin
Board, Newspaper article, etc.)
Newspaper article to advertise event along with
written materials that will be handed out at the
event and one on one education provided by a
certified car seat technicians. Don’t put your child
at risk buckle up the right way on every ride (Safe
Kid, 2007).
Working one on one with each family we incorporate
the three different learning techniques of cognitive,
affective, and psychomotor. Understanding these
three learning domains is crucial in providing
effective health education (Stanhope, & Lancaster,
2014).
Approval process
 Identify who and where the approval

your educational activity plan (minimum
of four references not including the textbook)
Learning outcomes will be met by the parents or
guardians actively participating in the instillation of
