All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are a leading cause of pediatric trauma. Children may experience a range of injuries from concussion and fractures to severe traumatic brain injury and even death. ATV safety is a priority. Research emphasizes the importance of helmet use while riding an ATV and adhering to manufacturing guidelines for ATVs. These findings have led to the initiation of an evidence-based project to identify behavioral changes within the pediatric population, specifically children 12-18 years of age who are on the Trauma Service of Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Each patient was given a pre-test survey to assess their knowledge regarding ATV safety. After the pre-test survey was completed, an educational component was implemented, the participant used teach-back to the project personnel to demonstrate understanding, and a post-test survey immediately followed. The posttest had several open-ended questions that identified the patient’s intention to follow the safety recommendations when riding their ATV in the future.
