  • Title: Home hazards: can children recognize the dangers?
    Author: Schooley CB, Kelly AR.
    Journal: J Trauma Nurs; 2008; 15(3):131-5. PubMed ID: 18820562.
    Abstract:

Initially, the parental responsibility includes protecting and instructing the child about dangerous situations. However, when children can recognize a hazard for themselves, this becomes the basis for behavior change according to the health belief model.

The following is a compilation of responses of 90 children who participated in a 2008 Home Hazard Recognition Station at a local Safe Kids event.
