Abstract
Abstract Background: Pedestrians are vulnerable in traffic, and unsafe behaviors often lead to their injury. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a theory-based training package (TBTP) on improving pedestrians’ safe traffic behaviors. Methods: This study is a protocol for a field trial with parallel arms to examine the effect of educational intervention on 204 pedestrians that are selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. In order to prepare a training package, a sequential exploratory mixed study will be performed in 4 phases: 1) A questionnaire will be designed using a qualitative study and constructs of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). 2) A cross-sectional study will be performed to evaluate the psychometrics of the questionnaire and current situation, 3) The training package will be designed based on the previous phase findings, results of related studies, opinions of a panel of experts and effective techniques for behavior and belief change. 4) The effect of training will be measured using pre and posttest to comparing the mean scores of different theory constructs on pedestrians’ behavior between the intervention and control groups before and three months after the intervention. The between-group differences in terms of demographic variables, awareness, risk perception, beliefs, intention and behavior will be examined first. Paired t-test and ANCOVA will be applied to evaluate the effect of the intervention between the two groups. Discussion: The present research provides good information about pedestrians’ needs and evidence-based approach to promoting traffic culture, and reducing pedestrian injuries.
