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 organized by types of injuries, and each section includes references providing information about prevalence, risk factors, specific hazards, and prevention techniques for the injury area. The opening chapter of the book includes references that address injury prevention in general or more than one injury class as well as curriculum guides and other training materials addressing more than one injury class. The remaining chapters address individual injury classes. Each chapter opens with a summary of findings related to the injury prevention topic.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“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

“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
