Assessment / Complete this column with information about your plan
Population
Define the population and describe the population using appropriate data from reliable resources / 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).
Health need
Relate this to findings from your windshield survey and/or community assessment / 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 ____
