DETERMINANTS OF CHILDHOOD POISON INGESTIONS

本研究旨在探讨社会及行为因素与儿童摄取清洁及家居维修保养用品的风险之间的关系。具体目标是：1)确定影响儿童中毒的社会人口学因素和易感的社会和行为因素（例如，生活事件、社会网络、父母的健康保护和安全行为）；2)检查这些因素对中毒的相对贡献。采用病例对照设计，在急诊科接受摄入治疗的儿童（按儿童年龄）与从社区儿科实践中获得的对照组相匹配。负责每个病例和对照儿童健康的主要看护人在摄入或对照选择后两周内进行了访谈。研究结果将为干预策略提供建议，以减少儿童摄入的风险因素，这些建议可以在实验研究中进行测试，以了解儿童伤害预防的功效和有效性。-意外伤害，中毒，童年-人类受试者&人类受试者：访谈，问卷调查或仅调查

This study investigates the relationship between social and behavioral factors and risk of childhood ingestion of household products for cleaning and home repair and maintenance. The specific aims are to: 1) determine the sociodemographic and the predisposing social and behavioral factors (e.g., life events, social network, parent health protective and safety behaviors) that affect childhood poison ingestions; and 2) examine the relative contributions of these factors to poison ingestion. Using a case-control design, children treated in an emergency department for ingestions were matched (on age of child) to controls obtained from community pediatric practices. The primary caretaker responsible for the health of each case and control child was interviewed within two weeks of either the ingestion or control selection. The study findings will provide recommendations for intervention strategies to reduce risk factors for childhood ingestions that can be tested in experimental studies for efficacy and effectiveness in childhood injury prevention. - unintentional injury, poison ingestion, childhood - Human Subjects & Human Subjects: Interview, Questionaires, or Surveys Only
