Measuring injury risk perceptions: feasibility of a Risk Estimation Scale.
OBJECTIVES: To develop a scale for measuring parental perceptions of childhood injury risk. METHODS: The Worry Assessment and Risk Estimation (WARE) Scale was administered to 256 parents/guardians to examine reliability, factor structure, and perception of risk. RESULTS: The WARE Scale has high inte...

METHODS: The Worry Assessment and Risk Estimation (WARE) Scale was administered to 256 parents/guardians to examine reliability, factor structure, and perception of risk. RESULTS: The WARE Scale has high internal consistency reliability (alpha = .89). Parents underestimated scenarios with high injury/death rates and overestimated scenarios with low injury/death rates. CONCLUSIONS: Risk estimation measures such as the WARE Scale have great potential as research tools and may be modified to suit researchers' needs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: questionnaire/scale research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
