Injuries are the most significant threat to Canadian children's health.
Along with recognition of the magnitude of this problem in recent years has come an increasing interest in injury prevention. Concerned groups and individuals have been working together to formulate new and creative ways of reducing injuries. Those involved in promoting safe environments and behaviours among children have formed partnerships and networks and regularly share data and strategies. The Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program is part of this growing partnership an invaluable resource for those who need to know how, why, and to whom injuries are happening.
