Epidemiologic Investigation of Child Restraint Installation Position and Serious Injury among Children in Motor Vehicle Crashes

Principal Investigator: Rachel Myers, PhD

The goal of this study is to create a unique source of epidemiologic crash data that enables novel description of use and installation patterns of child restraints among crash-involved children and— following linkage with hospital discharge and death certificate data—novel description of child occupant injury outcomes based on restraint use and installation (rear- vs. forward-facing).

State-of-the-Art Science: An Update on Child and Adolescent Injury Research and Prevention
This study provides the CChIPS members with a biannual, state-of-the-art summary of the current research, outreach, legislature and media coverage on child and adolescent injury prevention.
Abdominal Injuries in Children in Belt Positioning Booster Seats

Principal Investigator: Jessica Jermakian, DSc


The objective of this project was to gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of abdominal injuries in booster-seated children and the crash and restraint factors influencing the injuries by examining field data experience.
Child Occupant Surveillance: A Feasibility Study

Principal Investigator: Jessica Jermakian, DSc


This study evaluated the potential transition of CHOP's current child-focused motor vehicle crash surveillance system, Partners for Child Passenger Safety (PCPS), to a national system that leverages the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crash research infrastructure. The feasibility study determined the viability of new methods, the quality of the potential data, the likelihood of and method for securing appropriate funding, and…
Passive Range of Motion of Adult and Child Cervical Spines

Principal Investigator: Matthew R. Maltese, PhD


The primary objective of this study is to compare the static passive cervical spine flexion of children of specific age groups (6-8, 9-12, 13-15) with adults. As a secondary objective, these data will be applied to guide the development of child-based anthropometric test device (ATD) neck biofidelity requirements through a validated computational model of the pediatric cervical spine.
Backup Crashes
This study examined drivers' backup behavior in a naturalistic setting using vehicles equipped with combined rearview camera and sensor-based systems and an eye tracker to monitor the locations where drivers looked as they backed up. Its objective was to determine whether the combined systems reduce backup crashes.
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Side-impact Protection of Children in Child Restraint Systems
The objective of this research study was to analyze, using mathematical models, the side impact methods currently being used and the effectiveness of protection offered to children in child restraint systems in a side impact.
Using MADYMO to Evaluate and Quantify the Effect of the Misuse of Vehicle LATCH Anchor Points in a Vehicle Environment
This study utilized mathematical models to analyze the effects of misuse, namely the effect of variation in the LATCH attachment configurations that are either narrower or wider than the standard 280 mm.
