Role of the primary health care team in preventing accidents to children.

Year: 1994

Type: article

Abstract: Accidents are the most common cause of mortality in children and account for considerable childhood morbidity. The identification of risk factors for childhood accidents suggests that many are predictable and therefore preventable. Numerous interventions have been found to be effective in reducing the morbidity and mortality from childhood accidents. The scope for accident prevention within the primary care setting and the roles of the members of the primary health care team are discussed. Finally, the problems associated with the team undertaking accident prevention work are explored and solutions suggested.
