简要总结
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents receive anticipatory guidance about violence prevention as part of the routine well child visit. Educational resources are needed to help physicians routinely provide these important anticipatory guidance messages. In this study, consecutive parents will be exposed to routine anticipatory guidance messages before the well child visit with the physician. After the clinic visit, parents will be invited to participate in a research study to determine if they plan any changes at home. The key research question of this study is:
Can a brief multimedia program (i.e. Play Nicely program) and/or the AAP Connected Kids brochure, entitled, "Pulling the Plug on TV Violence", help parents develop plans to decreases their children's exposure to violence in the media (e.g. less media time, no TV in the bedroom)?

研究组 & 干预措施
Handout intervention
Caregivers assigned to the hand-out group were instructed to read the AAP hand-out "Pulling the Plug On TV Violence." This 2 page hand-out emphasizes the negative effect that television has on children's behavior and makes recommendations about limiting media. The RA did not supervise the reading of the handout.
干预措施: AAP Handout entitled, Pulling the Plug on Violence. (Behavioral)
Control
Parents in control group experienced a routine primary care visit.
干预措施: Control Group (Other)
Multimedia intervention
Caregivers assigned to the multimedia group were instructed to watch "Recommendation 3: Decrease Exposure to Violence" from the Play Nicely program, a 5 minute video in English and Spanish that teaches caregivers about the negative impact of violent media and instructs parents about the importance of limiting media. The intervention was presented to the parents on a mobile laptop computer.
干预措施: Play Nicely Program (Behavioral)
