Child injuries are largely absent from child survival initiatives presently on the global agenda. Through this report, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and many partners have set out to elevate child injury to a priority for the global public health and development communities. It should be seen as a complement to the UN Secretary-General's study on violence against children released in late 2006 (that report addressed violence-related or intentional injuries). Both reports suggest that child injury and violence prevention programs need to be integrated into child survival and other broad strategies focused on improving the lives of children. Evidence demonstrates the dramatic successes in child injury prevention in countries which have made a concerted effort. These results make a case for increasing investments in human resources and institutional capacities. Implementing proven interventions could save more than a thousand children's lives a day.--p. vii.

The title of this thesis is Evaluating the Efficacy of Patient Educational Material in the Emergency Department: Quantitative Study. Effective patient education is a major component of injury prevention services. Designing effective injury prevention educational material requires not only reading level but also design, layout, and content. Although there are numerous studies addressing reading levels of educational materials, there is a lack of information on the other key components of effective injury prevention educational material: design, layout and content. This study was designed to evaluate factors that may determine the readability or usability of our car seat educational material.
