Injury Specific Research: Falls

Serious fall-related injuries among children and youth are a preventable public health issue; however, there is a paucity of data and indicators specific to these injuries. We aimed to report an indicator of serious fall injuries within the paediatric population aged 0–19 years in Ontario, Canada.

Practical interventions of fall prevention are challenging for infants and toddlers. This study aimed to explore specific details of falls that occurred at home for kids 0–3 years old using key information from social media platforms, which provided abundant data sources for fall events.
