Investigated factors related to unintentional injuries in 50 children from summer day camps for economically underprivileged youth. Data were collected on parent reports of children's previous medically treated injuries, Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) scores, and the day camp's incident reports of injuries. One year later, parents completed a second questionnaire about medically and home-treated injuries. Multiple linear regression indicated that previous medically treated injury, ECBI opposition score, and injury at camp accounted for 50% of the variance of medically treated injuries in the year after camp. Previous medically treated injury accounted for 21% of the variance in frequent home-treated injuries during the year after camp. Children who have behavior problems may behave in ways that predispose them to common injuries. Conceptualizing injury as a behavioral process suggests behavior change strategies to reduce injury risk and ways to target children for injury prevention efforts.
对来自经济贫困青少年夏日日间营地的50名儿童的意外伤害相关因素进行了调查。收集了以下数据：家长报告的孩子之前接受过医学治疗的损伤情况、艾伯格儿童行为量表（ECBI）得分以及日间营地的伤害事故报告。一年后，家长完成了关于医学治疗和家庭治疗损伤的第二份问卷。多元线性回归表明，之前接受过医学治疗的损伤、ECBI反抗得分以及营地中的损伤占营地结束后一年中接受医学治疗损伤方差的50%。之前接受过医学治疗的损伤占营地结束后一年中频繁家庭治疗损伤方差的21%。有行为问题的儿童可能会以使其易受常见损伤的方式行事。将损伤概念化为一个行为过程，提示了降低损伤风险的行为改变策略以及针对儿童进行预防损伤努力的方法。
