An operational definition could not be specified at time of publication.
The proposed national data source is the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), CDC, NCHS.
The proposed State data source is the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), CDC, NCCDPHP.
This objective is a modification of Healthy People 2000 objective 9.21, which tracked the proportion of clinicians who counseled 81 to 100 percent of their patients about injury prevention; the objective was tracked using the Primary Care Providers Surveys, OPHS, ODPHP and the Prevention in Primary Care Study, American College of Preventive Medicine. This measure will track children aged 17 years and under who are reported to have had a physician visit in the past year and received counseling on the use of vehicle restraints and bicycle helmets, using the National Health Interview Survey, CDC, NCHS.
The proposed questions to be used to obtain the data are scheduled for inclusion in the 2001 NHIS.
