TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Psychological Characteristics of Childhood Accidents JO - Journal of Social Issues A1 - Matheny, A. P. SP - 45 EP - 60 VL - 43 IS - 2 N2 - Research on children injured inadvertently has generally led to the notion of accident proneness. This does not lead to the creation of preventive strategies.
