| Abstract | This report describes the development and evaluation of a K-12 pedestrian safety curriculum for suburban and rural schools. The three program curriculum, called PEDSAFE, was developed to combat pedestrian accidents which victimize suburban/rural children. The Elementary and On-Bus Programs were designed to train safe behaviors in four pedestrian situations--midblock crossing, intersection crossing, walking along the roadway, and pedestrian movement near the school bus. The Junior/Senior High School Program teaches pedestrian safety principles. Statistically significant reductions in unsafe pedestrian behavior brought about by the Elementary and On-Bus Programs were found, using a before-after with control design. A similar design was employed to evaluate pedestrian safety knowledge gain for the Junior/Senior High School Program. Statistically significant gains resulted from all five units within this program. The report consists of four volumes. Volume 1 describes PEDSAFE development and the evaluation results. Volumes 2 and 3 provide copies of revised text materials for, respectively, the Elementary and On-Bus Programs and the Junior/Senior High School Program. The final volume, Volume 4, provides audiovisual scripts. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
