TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Family processes and child risk for injury JO - Behaviour research and therapy A1 - Peterson, L. A1 - Stern, B. L. SP - 179 EP - 190 VL - 35 IS - 3 N2 - Although injuries are the leading health threat to children, behavioral interventions within the family to prevent injuries remain relatively unexplored. In this paper, the parenting literature relevant to maltreatment injuries is reviewed in order to offer a broader picture of the potential influence of the family on all kinds of injuries. Factors that influence parental supervision of risky child behavior, relationship issues that may potentiate risky behavior, and the role of behavioral rules in reducing risky responding are considered. Suggestions for future research on family processes in injury socialization and intervention options are advanced.
