Description
Unintentional injuries, including car crashes, drowning, burns, poisoning and suffocation, are a leading cause of death to young children. Child abuse, infectious diseases and food poisoning also affect children under five. This bibliography provides information useful to those who care for young children, who are doing research on how to prevent injuries, or who supervise or train people who care for children either in child care or home settings. The volume is organised by types of injuries, and each section includes references providing information about prevalence, risk factors, specific hazards, and prevention techniques for the the injury area.
Reviews
"This book fills an important gap on information about childhood injuries. It brings together in one place annotated information about research done on prevention of injuries in young children. It will be a useful reference book for investigators, injury practitioners, and students alike."-Frederick P. Rivara, M.D., M.P.H. George Adkins Professor of Pediatrics, Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center
This bibliography succeeds in its stated aim to provide information for developing an injury prevention training program for care providers of young children. It is also a useful review for anyone who cares for children. Recommended for public and academic libraries that serve day-care providers or have a curriculum that would include child care issues.-Choice
