Educating parents about injury prevention.
Pediatricians usually spend very little time counseling parents about childhood safety. The Framingham Safety Surveys (FSS) were developed for pediatricians to use in counseling on childhood injury prevention. The use of FSS and supplemental safety instruction are reviewed. This study found increased preventive behaviors in homes after safety counseling by pediatricians using FSS.
