A comprehensive study of child pedestrian crash outcomes in Ghana
2023, Accident Analysis and PreventionInterventions for safety promotion of pedestrians; A scoping review
2022, Journal of Transport and HealthCitation Excerpt :According to the last two report of Global Status Report on Road Safety (GSRRS) in 2015 and 2018, increase in pedestrian deaths is almost double that of other crash deaths (World Health Organization, 2018; Organization, 2015). The high vulnerability of pedestrians in road traffic crashes highlights the need to implement effective interventions to protect them (Cross et al., 2000; Jacobsen, 2003; Kwan and Mapstone, 2006). Improved vehicle standards, using special materials to reduce the impact on pedestrians during crashes, improving the safety culture through education, virtual training, social campaigns, designing special routs for pedestrians, construction of bridges, and effective low enforcement on speeding are among the interventions, which are considered for improving the pedestrian's safety at local and national level (Organization, 2013; Job, 2020; Kwan and Mapstone, 2006; DiMaggio and Li, 2013; Elvik et al., 2009; James et al., 2017; McComas et al., 2002).
The proportion of independent to dependent trips: A new measure to understand the effects of the built environment on children independent mobility
2021, Journal of Transport and HealthCitation Excerpt :This age group has been chosen because middle childhood is the time when parents permit more freedom to their children for roaming around their local environment (Hillman et al., 1990). After the age of 10 years, children gain the cognitive (attention focus, interpreting traffic signs) and perceptual (tracing sounds, judging speed and peripheral vision) abilities which required to negotiate with complex traffic (Cross et al., 2000) and environmental situation (Prezza et al., 2001). Another reason for choosing this age group is that very little is known about the CIM behaviour of this group compared to middle childhood group (approx. 9–12).
Can the Neighborhood Built Environment Make a Difference in Children's Development? Building the Research Agenda to Create Evidence for Place-Based Children's Policy
2016, Academic PediatricsCitation Excerpt :Younger children appear to be more at risk of traffic injury than older children.77 Children 10 years old or younger may not have the cognitive (eg, attention focus and interpreting traffic signs) and perceptual (eg, locating sounds, judging speed, and peripheral vision) abilities to negotiate complex traffic situations.78 Cul-de-sac (“lollipop”) networks have been found to encourage young children's play and generate informal social control by neighbors.79
Risk factors for scald injury in children under 5 years of age: A case-control study using routinely collected data
2013, BurnsCitation Excerpt :Because of this, GPs are notified of planned or emergency healthcare utilisation outside of primary care (e.g. hospital admissions, emergency department or out-patient attendances) and together with the primary care consultations hold information on medical diagnoses, general health information and prescriptions. This information is recorded in the electronic medical record of each patient and entries are made either by the GP or by an allied professional in the general practice using Read codes which are based on the International Classification of Diseases version 10 (ICD-10) [19]. All patient records are provided to researchers only in anonymised fashion and at the time of data extraction for this study THIN comprised 255 practices with longitudinal records of 3.9 million patients.
