Validation of a poison prevention program.
The effectiveness of an empirically designed poison warning label and an educational program for three and four year old children was assessed in four groups of 39 such children, with one group serving as a control. The educational program appeared to improve intellectual (verbal) awareness of poisons, the label to improve visual discrimination, and the combination of the two to have the greatest overall impact.
