CLINICAL REPORT

Office-Based Counseling for Unintentional Injury Prevention

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
