H. Garry Gardner, MD and the Committee on Injury, Violence, and Poison Prevention

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for children older than 1 year. Pediatricians should include unintentional injury prevention as a major component of anticipatory guidance for infants, children, and adolescents. The content of injury-prevention counseling varies for infants, preschool-aged children, school-aged children, and adolescents. This report provides guidance on the content of unintentional injury-prevention counseling for each of those age groups.

Key Words: injuries • prevention • anticipatory guidance • infants • children • adolescents

Abbreviations: TIPP—The Injury Prevention Program • ATV—all-terrain vehicle
