The 12 Days of Safety (infographic for growing families)
Posted Le 27 novembre 2019
Hello! This infographic will be shared on the Healthy Parenting Winnipeg website and includes fall prevention messaging for growing families with young children (box #4-6). Findings suggest that the holiday injury prevention efforts that focus on general risk factors in addition to holiday specific risks could be expected to have a greater impact on decreasing pediatric injury rates (D'Ippolity, Collings and Cornstock, 2010). It was found that "most injuries that were sustained on the holidays and required ED treatment were not holiday-specific, but were associated with more general activities. This study, the first to directly compare injuries sustained on 8 common injuries, found that although people participate in unique activities during specific holidays, the greates proportion of injuries that were associated with the holidays were not holiday-specific.
Kindly,
