abstract="Young children being injured at home is a perennial problem. When parents of young children and family workers discussed what influenced parents' perceptions and responses to child injury risk at home, both &quot;upstream&quot; and &quot;downstream&quot; causal factors were identified. Among the former, complex and interactive facets of society and contemporary living emerged as potentially critical features. The &quot;wicked problems&quot; model arose from the need to find resolutions for complex problems in multidimensional environments and it proved a useful analogy for child injury. Designing dynamic strategies to provide resolutions to childhood injury, may address our over-dependence on 'tame solutions' that only deal with physical cause-and-effect relationships and which cannot address the complex interactive contexts in which young children are often injured.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
