N2  - Cooking-related child burn injury causes a greater health burden in low-and-middle-income countries. Therefore, a community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 5830 under-five-years old children in a resource-limited community in Northwest Ethiopia to determine the prevalence and risk factors of this child health problem. Data were collected by trained nurses using a questionnaire and the logistic regression analysis method was applied to identify factors linked with burn injury. Injury prevalence was 6.2% (95% CI:5.5-6.8); and this burden was linked with several risk factors such as lower literacy status of caretakers [AOR = 2.21 (95% CI:1.05-4.67)], overcrowding [AOR = 2.35(95% CI:1.25-4.43], lack of separate kitchen [AOR =2.19 (95% CI:1.56-3.07)], using traditional cookstove [AOR = 2.04 (95% CI:1.23-3.36)], and lack of child supervision [AOR = 2.27 (95% CI:1.63-3.17)]. In conclusion, children experience a high burden of burn injury. Thus, stakeholders should work to reduce child burn injury by modifying the aforementioned risk factors.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
