Abstract

psychosocial factors

unintentional childhood injuries

longitudinal study

accidents

injuries

Relationships between several family, behavioural and developmental factors and injuries in mid-childhood were investigated. The results showed that none of the variables studied had a significant association with the number of injuries the child had received. There were, however, significant sex differences with boys experiencing more injuries than girls.
