Preventing Child Injuries in Road Traffic Crashes through the use of Child Restraint Systems

Описание: The sixth session in the 'Injury Prevention Sessions', co-hosted by UNSW School of Population Health, Sydney and the WHO Collaborating Centre on Injury Prevention and Trauma Care at The George Institute for Global Health, focused on preventing child injuries in road traffic crashes through the use of child restraint systems.

Presenters discussed strategies and specific interventions that have been enacted to encourage the use of child restraint systems. It outlined the injury prevention impact of the systems and how the global road safety targets can provide impetus for change. It included a case study from the Philippines, where a combination of interventions led to the passage of a new mandatory child restraint law, and outlined a new technical guide developed by the Global Road Safety Partnership, which provides practical advice and steps to assist the introduction of child restraint systems into a country.

The #InjuryPrevention Sessions are action-focused conversations about how we learn from local solutions to address the global problem of injury. From practitioners to researchers to students, this informal forum brings together like-minded individuals to explore innovative injury prevention research methodologies and opportunities to work together to save lives globally.
