This study explored the relationship between receiving ergonomics/injury prevention education (PrevEd) during formal drum kit training and drummers’ histories of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) and their engagement in PRMD prevention behaviours. It also explored what they were taught with respect to PrevEd. A mixed-methods analysis of a subset of previously collected survey data (N = 831) revealed that while 81 per cent of the respondents had completed formal training, only 42 per cent had received PrevEd from their instructors. Respondents who had not received PrevEd were nearly twice as likely to report both lifetime and seven-day histories of PRMD than those who had. They also engaged in warm-ups, cool-downs and exercise significantly less often. Overall, the findings suggest that including PrevEd within drum kit curricula, while reinforcing the importance of regular engagement in optimal PRMD prevention behaviours, warrants further consideration as a primary PRMD prevention strategy.

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of childhood mortality in the United States. Study aims included educating families about injury prevention and improving satisfaction with the waiting room experience. Two hundred caregivers with young children in the waiting room of an underserved pediatric primary care clinic participated in brief individual education sessions and received a toolkit containing small safety items and content highlighting age-appropriate safety topics. Participants completed 2 follow-up surveys, and most caregivers (94%) reported learning new information about injury prevention and thought that the intervention resulted in a better waiting room experience (91%). Of those who completed the 2-week follow-up survey (84%), 93.5% made changes at home and 42.7% bought new safety equipment. Injury prevention education can be effectively provided in the waiting room of a pediatric primary care clinic by improving reported caregiver safety knowledge and behaviors as well as satisfaction with the waiting room experience.
