Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec id="jaba80-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>Using a control group design, we evaluated the effectiveness of the <italic>Stranger Safety</italic> 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 significant difference in safety skills between the training and control groups after the training group viewed the DVD. Children in both groups scored significantly better after receiving in situ training, with no significant difference in performance between groups.</p> </sec> </abstract>
