Synopsis: |
Exploring the ways in which scientific research can be used to improve the prevention of accidents in children and adolescents, this book illustrates the types of studies needed to understand the causes of accidents; the factors that make children and adolescents especially vulnerable; the predominant risks at different ages and in different groups; and the most effective interventions.The topics covered range from the advantages and disadvantages of different systems for the registration of accidents, and the effectiveness of specific types of legislation, to the reasons why a child who behaves as a perfect pedestrian one day may be totally unreliable the next. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on the need to base safety interventions on a solid understanding of the many factors that interact whenever accidents occur. |
