There is also high morbidity associated with injuries sustained in childhood, often affecting people for the rest of their lives. For every child who dies from injury, there are several thousand who require medical care, many who live with varying degrees of disability. Children and adolescents (0–19 years of age) are at increased risk of mortality and morbidity due to injuries such as road traffic, burns, falls, poisoning, drowning, self-harm and interpersonal violence. There are proven ways to prevent many child injuries, yet there are still gaps in our knowledge. By understanding the impact of determinants of health (i.e., the social and economic environment, the physical environment and a person’s individual characteristics and behaviors), effective prevention interventions can be designed and implemented, with a high return on investment. This Special Issue covers an eclectic range of studies, the common goal of which is to reduce the global burden of child injury-related mortality and morbidity.HumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscsocial determinantschildrenchild-playmobile phoneinjurysupervisiondrowningchild healthlow-and middle-income countryIndiapreventative medicineimplementation sciencequalitative researchmusculoskeletal injurysportsexerciserisk factorsprotective factorsinjury preventionwater safetyadolescentlife jacketswimming lessonsswimming abilityrisk behaviorsFMSTMpubescencematurationfundamental movement patternsfunctional movementgender differenceself-injurious behaviorinstitutionalized childoral manifestationsworkagriculturefarmtransportoccupational injurychildrisk factorruralitysocio-economicdeterminants of healthroad traffic injuryfallspoisoningviolenceself-harmpreventioninterventionepidemiologyforce-angle relationshipisokinetic muscle strengthmuscle-tendon unitmaximal voluntary contractiongrowth spurtwatersafetymortalitypolicystakeholderGlobal Burden of DiseasemultisectorHumanitiesSocial interactionPeden Amyedt1320362Franklin RichardedtPeden AmyothFranklin RichardothBOOK9910557297403321Child Injury and the Determinants of Health3034189UNINA
