Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the level of childhood injury awareness among neighborhood members and to examine how this awareness depends on ethnicity. The study methodology was a telephone survey of 900 adults in Dallas, Texas: 272 Whites, 300 Blacks, 300 Hispanics, and 28 "Other" persons. Among the injury types was riding in a motor vehicle. It was found that injury awareness differs by both ethnicity and injury mechanism which should be taken into account when developing neighborhood safety/injury prevention programs.
