TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Child pedestrian injuries in the United States: Current status of the problem, potential interventions, and future research needs JO - American journal of diseases of children (1960) A1 - Rivara, Frederick P. SP - 692 EP - 696 VL - 144 IS - 6 N2 - Each year in the United States, more than 50,000 children are injured as pedestrians, of whom approximately 1,800 die, 18,000 are admitted to the hospital, and 5,000 have significant long-term sequelae. Prevention must rest on a multifaceted approach at the local, state, and national level and should include pedestrian skills training programs, parent education, legislation, environmental modifications, and vehicle design changes.
