abstract="A community-based descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among children aged 1 to 4 years residing in an urban setting of Sri Lanka to assess the incidence and associated family-related factors of unintentional injuries. A total of 458 children were recruited using simple random sampling technique, giving a response rate of 91.6%. The incidence of unintentional injuries that needed medical attention during the study period of 3 months was 28.1 per 100 children (95% CI = 19.46-36.74). The factors that were significantly associated with the occurrence of unintentional injuries among children are low monthly income of the family (P =.045), low social support to the mother of index child (P =.022), nonauthoritative type of parenting of the mother of index child (P =.039), cared by person other than mother during day time (P =.002), frequent arguments between parents (P =.004), and frequent alcohol consumption of father (P =.001).<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
