Accidents in the home among children under 5 ethnic differences or social disadvantage

Accidents in the home to children under 5 in a multiracial population with a high level of social disadvantage were studied by interviewing at home the parents of children attending the accident department of a London hospital during one year. The outcome was that social disadvantage seems to be more important than ethnicity as a determinant of accidents to children in the home.
