    Local poison control programs effectively transmit knowledge, especially to children aged 6-14. These community-led efforts are superior to statewide campaigns for disseminating vital information and resources like Ipecac syrup.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Education
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Poison control knowledge is crucial for preventing accidental poisonings.
    • Existing statewide poison prevention efforts may have limited reach and effectiveness.
    • Targeted community programs may offer a more efficient dissemination model.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the effectiveness of local, community-coordinated poison control programs versus statewide efforts.
    • To identify optimal age groups for educational material transmission.
    • To assess the successful dissemination of poison center contact information and Ipecac syrup acquisition.

    Main Methods:

    • A community-based poison control education program was implemented in a specific town.
    • Educational material transmission and knowledge acquisition were evaluated.

  • Program effectiveness was compared against a statewide poison prevention week initiative.
  • Focus was placed on information accessibility and acquisition of emergency preparedness items.

    • Main Results:

    • Local, community-coordinated programs demonstrated superior effectiveness in knowledge transmission compared to statewide efforts.
    • Educational materials were most effectively transmitted to a specific age group (6-14 years).
    • Information on accessing poison center numbers and obtaining Ipecac syrup was successfully disseminated.

    Conclusions:

    • Community-led, localized poison control initiatives are highly effective.
    • Targeting specific age demographics enhances educational program impact.
    • Successful transmission of critical poison control information and resources is achievable through focused community engagement.
