N2  - At the present time, accidents are the first cause of child deaths and an outstanding cause of child morbidity in this country. The reduction of child accidents during the past fifteen years has by no means approached the marked reduction of child mortality and morbidity due to disease. Accordingly, child accidents represent a major child health problem requiring further study and research and the more effective utilization of present knowledge regarding prevention and control.    <p>The seriousness of the child accident problem presents a definite challenge to responsible public health agencies for the initiation and conduct of well organized community programs planned to coordinate the activities of all local official and nonofficial agencies interested in child safety.</p>
