Abstract

A multidisciplinary team was constituted for the analysis of child pedestrian injuries. In a pilot study of the utility of such analysis, it was found that: (1) the multidisciplinary approach identified possible etiologic factors; (2) this approach requires the availability of high quality medical information and police accident records; (3) biological, psychological and social characteristics of victims, their families and communities appear to affect the occurance of child pedestrian injuries; and, (4) such victim factors must be considered in the development of countermeasures. It is concluded that the technique of multidisciplinary staffing merits further application as a productive way of generating quantitative hypotheses concerning causes of child pedestrian injury and possible countermeasures. For the covering abstract see IRRD abstract no 273095.
