A recent national study of accidents to Australian children has shown that poisoning is a major cause of morbidity. However, the development of preventive strategies is hampered by the lack of detailed epidemiological studies of the problem. I report the results of a detailed study of cases of poisoning among children attending the Casualty Department of the Adelaide Children's Hospital. They indicate at-risk groups which are in need of specific preventive programmes. I stress the need to educate parents, and argue that hospitals have an important role to play in this process.
最近一项针对澳大利亚儿童事故的全国性研究表明，中毒是发病的主要原因。然而，由于缺乏对该问题的详细流行病学研究，预防策略的制定受到了阻碍。我报告了对阿德莱德儿童医院急诊科就诊儿童中毒病例的详细研究结果。这些结果指出了需要特定预防方案的高危群体。我强调对家长进行教育的必要性，并认为医院在这一过程中可发挥重要作用。
