| Popis: | An informational cartoon was developed and tested in a low-socioeconomic population composed mainly of Hispanics attending the Ripley Health Clinic in Houston, TX. The informational cartoon illustrated how scald injuries can be prevented by adjusting the water heater thermostat. Self-efficacy, intention, knowledge, attitude and social desirability were measured. Days were the randomization units.
