Study Reveals Barriers and Enablers to Infant Abuse Prevention Programme ICON
A new study has examined the role of healthcare managers and frontline staff in delivering and sustaining the ICON infant abuse prevention programme across the NHS.
The study, led by NIHR Applied Research Collaboration West (ARC West), evaluated the UK-wide programme designed to reduce the risk of abusive head trauma (AHT) in infants. The findings are published in BMC Public Health.
ICON has been widely adopted in hospitals and primary care, but most evaluations of AHT prevention focus on parents and carers. This research took a different approach, examining the perspectives of those responsible for implementing ICON in practice.
- Researchers conducted interviews and focus groups with 53 managers and healthcare professionals.
- The study took place across 6 regions of England between October 2022 and April 2023.
