Variations in booster seat use by child characteristics
2020, Journal of Safety ResearchCitation Excerpt :Because of our use of a small convenience sample, we did not explore differences across individual child characteristics. Child behavior research in other contexts (e.g., playgrounds) has found several child-level variables related to higher injury risks (Hoffrage et al., 2003; Vollrath, Landolt, & Ribi, 2003; Schwebel & Plumert, 2013), including being a boy (Schwebel & Gaines, 2007; Rosen & Peterson, 1990), and having learning disabilities or a diagnosis of ADHD (Merrill et al., 2009; Brehaut et al., 2003; DiScala et al., 1998). Despite this evidence, little work has been done to connect how these child-level factors may influence a child passenger’s injury risk in MVCs.
Understanding clusters of risk factors across different environmental and social contexts for the prediction of injuries among Canadian youth
2016, InjuryCitation Excerpt :Potential confounders that have been previously established as independent risk factors for injury were extracted. These included age [20,21], sex [22–24], perceived level of affluence compared to peers (well-off, average, not well-off) [25], immigration status (immigrated within 1–5 years, more than five years, born in Canada) [26,27], depressed (yes, no) [28], overall health status (high, average, low) [29], being physically bullied (often, sometimes, never) [30,31], living in a foster home (yes, no) [32,33], sedentary behaviour (≥5 h per day, 3–4 h per day, ≤2 h per day) [34], and participation in organized sport (yes, no) [35]. Principal components analysis–identifying clusters of risk-taking behaviours.
