Background:

Childhood injuries are a significant public health concern.
Understanding behavioral and psychological factors is crucial for injury prevention.
The Injury Behavior Checklist (IBC) was initially developed for preschool-aged children.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the descriptive characteristics, internal validity, and convergent validity of the Injury Behavior Checklist (IBC).
To determine the suitability of the IBC for use with older children.
To assess the IBC's potential as a screening tool for injury risk in children.

Main Methods:

The study examined the psychometric properties of the IBC.
Data were collected from a sample of children aged 7 to 10 years.

Statistical analyses were performed to assess validity and reliability.

Main Results:

The IBC exhibited acceptable psychometric qualities in children aged 7 to 10 years.
The checklist demonstrated adequate internal validity and convergent validity.
Findings suggest the IBC can be reliably used for children up to 9 years of age.

Conclusions:

The Injury Behavior Checklist (IBC) is a psychometrically sound instrument for assessing injury-related behaviors in children up to age 9.
The IBC shows potential for research into psychological and behavioral mechanisms of childhood injury.
The IBC may serve as a valuable tool for individual screening of childhood injury liability.
