    This study developed a poison prevention program for young children. The program effectively taught first and second graders to identify poisons, recognize hazard symbols, and know how to contact poison control centers.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Safety Education
    • Toxicology Awareness
    • Public Health Initiatives

    Background:

    • Childhood poisonings pose a significant public health risk.
    • Effective prevention strategies are crucial for reducing accidental poison exposures in young children.
    • Educational interventions can empower children with life-saving knowledge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an educational program for first and second graders focused on poison identification and prevention.
    • To assess children's ability to recognize poisons, understand hazard symbols, and know emergency contact procedures.
    • To identify children's primary sources of information regarding poison safety.

    Main Methods:

    • A 30-minute lesson plan was designed for each educational objective.

  • School teachers delivered the program to approximately 400 children in grades 1 and 2.
  • Pre- and post-tests were administered to evaluate learning outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Children demonstrated significant improvement in identifying poisons and hazard symbols post-program.
    • Participants successfully learned to recognize the telephone number for their local poison control center.
    • The most frequently cited sources of poison-related knowledge were parents, television, and school.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed program is effective in teaching young children essential poison prevention skills.
    • Early education is a viable strategy for enhancing child safety around hazardous substances.
    • A multi-faceted approach involving parents, media, and schools can reinforce safety messages.
