Tóm tắt : | 54 p. During the twentieth century there have been remarkable changes in the problems of child health. Spectacular progress has been made with regard to childhood morbidity and mortality, due largely at the beginning of the century to infectious diseases, malnutrition and congenital deformities. These advances have been linked to better living conditions, better nutrition, provision of drinking-water and sewage disposal facilities, and medical progress. Against this background, accidents, particularly traffic accidents, now head the table as the commonest cause of death in childhood, and they have become the most serious “epidemic” in industrialized countries and a major problem in all countries. The aim of this report is to analyse the different aspects of traffic accident prevention in children, using the most up-to-date statistics. The information contained in this report has been drawn largely from an international symposium on the prevention of accidents in childhood, held at the Department of Social Medicine, University Hospital, Uppsala (5–7 October 1977). The symposium was organized jointly by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, the Folksam Insurance Company, and the Joint Committee for the Prevention of Childhood Accidents. |
