Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Division of Family Health Services, Statewide Comprehensive Injury Prevention Program. 1986. Safestate, safehome inspector's notes. Boston, MA: Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Statewide Comprehensive Injury Prevention Program, 28 pp.

Annotation: This product from a SPRANS project of SCIPP and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health describes the SAFEHOME program. The program's goal was to reduce the number of serious residential injuries to children 6 years old and under, by reducing hazards and promoting safe practices in the home. At the core of the program is a HOME SAFETY CHECK which can be done in a 15-minute version or the 1-hour full check. The program involves a trained SAFEHOME inspector who, using the SAFEHOME Checklist, goes with the parents or caretakers on a room by room tour. Conditions that pose risks to children are explained by the inspector along with changes that will make for a SAFEHOME. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
