2. Résumé
« In this paper, we review the core variables that displayed the strongest and most consistent associations with childhood injury across designs and integrate them with current research. Next, we summarize the important data on child’s age differences and suggest a framework for viewing the findings. Last, we consider the limitations of the data and discuss some implications for prevention. » (p. S39)
« Results: Consistent correlates of childhood injury across designs included child’s age, gender, difficult temperament, aggressive behavior, positive parenting, neighbors’ cohesion, neighborhood problems, and socioeconomic disadvantage.
Conclusion: Contextual influences on childhood injury vary by child’s age, temperament and behavior. In early childhood, neighborhood processes of cohesion show protective effects. For older children, neighborhood disadvantage dominates the risk of injuries. » (p. S38)
