TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Evaluation of a community-based poison education program JO - Clinical toxicology (Dekker) A1 - Lacouture, P. A1 - Minisci, M. A1 - Gouveia, W. A. A1 - Lovejoy, F. H. SP - 623 EP - 629 VL - 13 IS - 5 N2 - This study suggests that: (1) a program directed at a specific town and coordinated by a local community group is more effective in transmitting poison control knowledge than is a statewide poison prevention week effort; (2) that transmission of educational material is optimized through programs directed at a specific age group (in this study ages 6 through 14); and, (3) that information about where to get the poison center number and actual acquisition of Ipecac syrup in homes was well transmitted.
