Accident prevention : a community approach

Describes a project in a disadvantaged area of Glasgow where unemployment, large family size, single parenthood and hazardous living conditions contribute to a high rate of accidental injury. In order to explain the link, the project is designed to identify risk factors for accidents and the strategies used by the parents to avoid them by means of interviews, surveys and case studies. The research project is running concurrently with a parents' campaign to improve child safety. Together they hope to "provide a basis for safety at home, at play and in transit at the community level." (Abstr "Child Safety Library News")
