Preferred term

unintentional injuries in children  

Definition

  • While the definition of a child is culturally determined and variable, this entry uses the definition adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child—that is, someone below the age of 18 years. What were once referred to as “accidents” are now referred to as injuries. [Source: Encyclopedia of Lifestyle Medicine & Health; Injuries in Children, Unintentional]
