title: Injury prevention: aspects of the legislative response.
abstract: Injury is the leading cause of death among children aged 2-17 years. A legislative study commission--the North Carolina Child Fatality Task Force--was established in 1991 to study the causes of child deaths and to make recommendations to prevent future deaths. Aspects of the legislative response are presented here.
