Child injuries are a growing global public health problem and the aim of this research was to study child accidents, their causes and risk factors in a northern part of Greece, Thrace.
Methods:
1,516 high school children completed an anonymous questionnaire regarding the cause, type, activity before the accident, and result of their accident.
Results:
The Chi square method showed a high correlation between accidents and variables such as gender (OR .55, 95% CI: .437-.687, P < .001), grade (P < .05), maternal education level (P < .001), paternal education level (P < .001), and social group each child belongs to (P < .001). The odds ratio was 3.3 (95% CI: 1.760-6.296) for Non-natives compared with Native Christians and Native Muslims. The latter had half odds in comparison with Native Christians (OR .4, 95% CI: .328-.545).
Conclusions:
Young boys (7th grade), non-natives, and children whose parents received higher education were at greater risk of being injured.
