abstract="Injuries to children while traveling is an important topic in travel medicine. Traffic injuries and drowning are the first and second leading causes of death in children who travel, and are a far greater risk than infectious and chronic diseases. Effective prevention strategies are available, particularly for travelers who find themselves in unfamiliar environments and who may be unaware of the potential risks to their family. Despite greater understanding and increased research efforts in this field, data on the magnitude and severity of injuries are still incomplete or unreliable in many countries, but some general advice to parents, children, and adolescents can help keep them safe while traveling.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
