Reducing Risk of Head Injury in Youth Soccer: An Extension of Behavioral Skills Training for Heading
Quintero, Laura M.; Moore, James W.; Yeager, M. Garrett; Rowsey, Kyle; Olmi, D. Joe; Britton-Slater, Joshua; Harper, Michaela L.; Zezenski, Lauren E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Recently, concerns regarding sport-related concussions have increased within the research literature, the media, and popular culture. One potential source of soccer-related concussions involves the purposeful striking of the ball with one's head (i.e., heading). There is currently limited research on an effective teaching method to improve safe…

Bergstrom, Ryan; Najdowski, Adel C.; Tarbox, Jonathan – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
We evaluated the effects of behavioral skills training in the home for teaching children with autism to abstain from going with strangers and immediately inform a familiar adult of the stranger's attempt to lure them in the natural environment. All participants learned to respond correctly to lures in the home and demonstrated concomitant…

Gunby, Kristin V.; Rapp, John T. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
We examined the effects of behavioral skills training with in situ feedback on safe responding by children with autism to abduction lures that were presented after a high-probability (high-p) request sequence. This sequence was intended to simulate a grooming or recruitment process. Results show that all 3 participants ultimately acquired the…

Houvouras, Andrew J., IV; Harvey, Mark T. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
The use of behavioral skills training (BST) to educate 3 adolescent boys on the risks of lighters and fire setting was evaluated using in situ assessment in a school setting. Two participants had a history of fire setting. After training, all participants adhered to established rules: (a) avoid a deactivated lighter, (b) leave the training area,…

Vanselow, Nicholas R.; Hanley, Gregory P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
Previous research has demonstrated the efficacy of behavioral skills training (BST) and in situ training (IST) for teaching children to protect themselves. However, BST may be resource intensive and difficult to implement on a large scale. We evaluated a computerized version of BST (CBST) to teach safety skills and determined the extent to which…

Fisher, Marisa H.; Burke, Meghan M.; Griffin, Megan M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
We taught 5 adults with mild intellectual disabilities to respond appropriately to lures from strangers. Skills were taught in the classroom first and then in situ. Before training, participants did not walk away from confederate strangers who tried to lure them away. Participants demonstrated appropriate responses during classroom and in situ…

Himle, Michael B.; Wright, Kalon A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
The risk for serious injury and death to children during motor vehicle accidents can be greatly reduced through the correct use of child passenger safety restraints (CPSRs). Unfortunately, most CPSRs are installed or used incorrectly. This study examined the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST) to teach 10 participants to install…

Bergstrom, Ryan; Najdowski, Adel C.; Tarbox, Jonathan – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Children with autism may not develop safety skills (e.g., help-seeking behaviors) without explicit teaching. One potentially hazardous situation is when a child with autism becomes separated from caregivers in a retail establishment or other public setting. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a treatment package (rules, role playing, and…

Using a control group design, we evaluated the effectiveness of the "Stranger Safety" DVD (The Safe Side, 2004) and parent training of abduction-prevention skills with 6- to 8-year-old children. Children in the training or control group who did not demonstrate the safety skills received in situ training from their parents. There was no…

Van Houten, Ron; Van Houten, Joy; Malenfant, J. E. Louis – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2007
A bicycle helmet program was evaluated in three middle schools using a multiple baseline across schools design. Two of the three schools had histories of enforcement of helmet use. During baseline many students riding their bikes to and from school did not wear their helmets or wore them incorrectly. A program that consisted of peer data…

Miltenberger, Raymond G.; Gatheridge, Brian J.; Satterlund, Melisa; Egemo-Helm, Kristin R.; Johnson, Brigitte M.; Jostad, Candice; Kelso, Pamela; Flessner, Christopher A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2005
This study evaluated behavioral skills training with added in situ training for teaching safety skills to prevent gun play. Following baseline, each child received two sessions of behavioral skills training and one in situ training session. Additional in situ training sessions were conducted until the child exhibited the safety skills (don't touch…

Himle, Michael B.; Miltenberger, Raymond G.; Flessner, Christopher; Gatheridge, Brian – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2004
Research has shown that children often engage in gun play when they find a firearm and that this behavior is often involved in unintentional firearm injuries. Previous research has shown existing programs to be ineffective for teaching children safety skills to reduce gun play. This study examined the effectiveness of a behavioral skills training…

Johnson, Brigitte M.; Miltenberger, Raymond G.; Egemo-Helm, Kristin; Jostad, Candice M.; Flessner, Christopher; Gatheridge, Brian – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2005
This study examined the effectiveness of individual behavioral skills training in conjunction with in situ training in teaching 13 preschool children abduction prevention skills. Children's performance was measured during baseline, training, and at 2-week, 1-month, and 3-month follow-ups using in situ assessments in which abduction prevention…

Lehman, Galen R.; Geller, E. Scott – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1990
Practicing safety belt use and presenting a skit about it were found to nearly double the rate of belt use among six kindergarten participants who had been inconsistent belt users. Eleven older children and parents of the kindergartners, who watched the play, also increased and subsequently maintained safety belt use. (Author/JDD)
