To understand current parental knowledge, attitudes and information needs about childhood injuries.
Telephone survey of 1,516 parents in Metropolitan Toronto and Barrie.
Over half of the parents knew that injuries were the leading cause of death and about 70% believed that injuries were the most preventable of major health disorders. However, most parents were not particularly concerned, and most had limited understanding of the major causes of injury. Traditional modes of receiving safety information by obtaining pamphlets from doctors' offices or drug stores and through media coverage were preferred.
Although parents were aware of the risk of general childhood injury, they need to be educated about specific injury risks and effective countermeasures. A concerted and thoughtful effort is needed to market safety information for parents in Ontario.
了解当前家长对儿童伤害的认知、态度及信息需求。
对大多伦多地区和巴里市的1516名家长进行电话调查。
超过半数的家长知道伤害是儿童死亡的主要原因，约70%的家长认为伤害是主要健康问题中最可预防的。然而，大多数家长并不特别担心，且大多数家长对伤害的主要原因了解有限。他们更倾向于通过从医生办公室或药店获取宣传册以及通过媒体报道等传统方式获取安全信息。
尽管家长意识到儿童普遍存在受伤害的风险，但他们需要接受关于特定伤害风险及有效应对措施的教育。需要齐心协力、精心策划，为安大略省的家长推广安全信息。
