N2  - Infant injury prevention is an important issue for practitioners who work with adolescent mothers. Data are presented to examine the association between having a young mother and being injured as an infant. Prevention messages need to take into account that parents in general tend to minimize the magnitude of injury risk to their children. With careful documentation, using External Cause of Injury Codes, practitioners may be able to estimate the cost savings of prevention initiatives.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
