15-minute survey at two points, once
immediately before the intervention and
then 6 months afterwards. The survey
will assess outcome measures including,
but not limited to, changes in
knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and
behaviors regarding various aspects of
fire safety and prevention; changes in
reported residential fire-related injuries
and deaths; increased or decreased
presence of functioning smoke alarms;
and the costs associated with the SAIFE
intervention. The evaluation will
measure these changes across time,
between groups and within groups,
among communities that will receive
the SAIFE intervention.
CDC programs are currently funded in
16 states to provide for home
installation of smoke alarms plus
general fire safety education in
households at high risk for fire and firerelated injury and death. Programs of
this type are intended to prevent firerelated injury and mortality, but have
not been studied scientifically to assess
their impact on fire-related injury
outcomes. The proposed study
represents the first formal effort to
evaluate the effectiveness and cost
implications of the SAIFE program as
implemented in North Carolina. The
data collected in this study will have
the potential to inform other smoke
alarm installation programs, as well as
indicate future priorities in prevention
and preparedness for residential
household fires. The only cost to the
participant is the time involved to
complete the surveys.

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

Background and Brief Description
This project will use data from inperson interviews, paper and telephone
surveys to assess the effectiveness of the
Smoke Alarm Installation and Fire
Safety Education (SAIFE) program and
its efficacy in delivering fire safety
information. The data will be collected
from a convenience sample of adults 18
years of age or older who volunteer to
participate in the SAIFE program. A
total of 360 households will complete
the evaluation each year of the data
collection for a mass total of 1080
households over the next three years.
Participants will be asked to complete a
