To determine whether specific demographic characteristics are associated with the presence or absence of household safety strategies.
This study was conducted within Growing Up in New Zealand, a contemporary longitudinal study of New Zealand (NZ) children. Multivariable analyses were used to examine the maternal (self-prioritised ethnicity, education, age, self-reported health) and household (area-level deprivation, tenure, crowding, residential mobility, dwelling type) determinants of household safety strategies being present in the homes of young children.
In comparison to family-owned homes, privately owned rental homes were less likely (OR=0.78; 95%CI 0.65-0.92), and government-owned rental homes were more likely (OR=1.74, 95%CI 1.25-2.41) to have eight or more household safety strategies present.
Living in a privately owned rental home in NZ exposes children to an environment where there are fewer household safety strategies in place. Implications for public health: Housing tenure provides a clear target focus for improving the household safety environment for NZ children.
确定特定人口统计学特征是否与家庭安全策略的存在与否相关。
本研究在“新西兰儿童成长”项目中开展,这是一项针对新西兰儿童的当代纵向研究。多变量分析用于检验幼儿家庭中存在家庭安全策略的母亲(自我认定的种族、教育程度、年龄、自我报告的健康状况)和家庭(地区层面的贫困程度、居住权、拥挤程度、居住流动性、住房类型)决定因素。
与自有住房相比,私人出租房存在八项或更多家庭安全策略的可能性较小(OR = 0.78;95%CI 0.65 - 0.92),而政府出租房的可能性较大(OR = 1.74,95%CI 1.25 - 2.41)。
在新西兰,居住在私人出租房会使儿童面临家庭安全策略较少的环境。对公共卫生的影响:居住权为改善新西兰儿童的家庭安全环境提供了一个明确的目标重点。
