In 1983 an article was published in this Journal describing the work of the Child Accident Prevention Trust. Since that time many developments have taken place in the field of child accident prevention. There has been an increased recognition of the role of accidents and injuries in child health and the importance of accident prevention at an international, national, and local level. This has, in part, been a result of work undertaken by the Child Accident Prevention Trust. Much remains to be done, however, and doctors and other health workers involved with children must recognise the part that they can play in reducing this epidemic. Mortality and morbidity from accidents is the largest single problem in the health of children after the first year of life. The aim of this article is to stimulate interest in the problem of accidents in childhood especially among community paediatricians and clinical medical officers. Hospital doctors and general practitioners also have a particular part to play in drawing the attention of appropriate authorities to factors which have led to accidents that may have been preventable (see Annotation in this issue).
1983年，《本杂志》发表了一篇文章，介绍了儿童事故预防信托基金的工作。自那时以来，儿童事故预防领域发生了许多进展。在国际、国家和地方层面，人们越来越认识到事故和伤害对儿童健康的影响以及事故预防的重要性。这在一定程度上是儿童事故预防信托基金所开展工作的成果。然而，仍有许多工作要做，参与儿童工作的医生和其他卫生工作者必须认识到他们在减少这一流行病方面可以发挥的作用。事故导致的死亡率和发病率是一岁以后儿童健康方面最大的单一问题。本文旨在激发人们对儿童期事故问题的关注，特别是在社区儿科医生和临床医务人员中。医院医生和全科医生在提请有关当局注意可能导致原本可预防事故的因素方面也可发挥特殊作用（见本期注释）。
