This study describes a set of empirically derived safety rules that if followed, would have prevented the occurrence of minor injuries. Epidemiologists have criticized behavioral interventions as increasing "safe" behavior but failing to demonstrate a decrease in injury. The present study documents retrospectively the link between safe behavior and injury. It demonstrates that these empirically derived rules are very similar to rules for the prevention of serious injury. The study also shows that these rules are not widely accepted and implemented by parents. Suggestions for future research in this area are advanced.
本研究描述了一组根据经验得出的安全规则,若遵守这些规则,本可预防轻伤的发生。流行病学家批评行为干预措施虽能增加“安全”行为,但未能证明能减少伤害。本研究通过回顾性研究记录了安全行为与伤害之间的联系。研究表明,这些根据经验得出的规则与预防重伤的规则非常相似。该研究还表明,这些规则并未得到家长们的广泛认可和实施。本文还提出了该领域未来研究的建议。
