abstract="Research on injuries, the leading health threat to children in the United States, has been infrequent and badly fragmented. Research on unintentional injuries and research on abuse-neglect have similar histories, including recent rapprochement with behavioral interventions, and reveal similar etiologies for child injury. Further, recent studies document difficulties in discriminating between unintentional and abuse-neglect-related injuries. The areas also face similar methodological and conceptual challenges. Finally, the same interventions may prevent negative outcomes in both areas. A working model to summarize a more integrated approach to injury prevention is offered. Increasing societal awareness of the threat posed by injuries and strengthening mutually applicable strategies of injury prevention would be sought-after results of unifying efforts in these historically isolated arenas.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
