Day Care Injuries

We would like to commend Kopjar and Wickizer1 for their recent article dealing with the safety of day care centers in Norway. With the increasing prevalence of two-career homes and single-parent homes, the need for day care is indeed great and unlikely to decrease in the near future. Given this trend, studies such as the one carried out by these authors are pertinent, poignant, and deserving of thorough evaluation. As primary care physicians, we have a responsibility to be informed regarding the safety of those day care facilities that our patient-families may choose to utilize.
