title: Preventing childhood injury: developmental and mental health issues.
abstract: Injuries have replaced illness as the major source of death and disability for children in the United States. Conceptual issues underlying child safety programs are reviewed, and a framework is presented within which such efforts can be evaluated and the relationship between "accidental" and "inflicted" injuries assessed. The framework is applied in a proposal for the training and support of professionals as community child safety specialists.
