Area of Science:

Child Safety
Educational Technology
Injury Prevention

Background:

Poisonings and household injuries are common among toddlers.
Existing home safety education methods may lack engagement.
There is a need for accessible and interactive learning tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate VirtualSafeHome (VSH), an internet-based home safety learning tool.
To assess the usage characteristics and effectiveness of VSH in improving hazard awareness.
To investigate the potential of web-enabled video games for safety training.

Main Methods:

A prototype, screen-based VirtualSafeHome (VSH) kitchen was developed using Unity, delivered via the web.
Participants identified 21 embedded household hazards by clicking on them.
Knowledge was assessed using pretest and posttest scores, alongside usage metrics like session duration.

Main Results:

Twenty-four adults identified a median of 15.5 hazards.
The median playing time was 1022 seconds.
Mean knowledge scores significantly increased from 2.0 to 2.79 (P < .035), with high user satisfaction.

Conclusions:

A web-enabled video game, like VSH, offers an accessible and enjoyable method for home safety training.
The tool effectively enhances awareness of household hazards and improves safety knowledge.
VirtualSafeHome demonstrates potential as a valuable resource for injury prevention education.
