1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ OVERVIEW
Important Advances in Pediatric Injury Prevention is organized by Southern Medical Association (SMA).
CME Release Date: August 4, 2022
Valid for credit through: August 3, 2025
Description:
In children, injuries are the leading cause of death, a major source of disability, and the number one cause of death for children after the first year of life. Most injuries are preventable. The principles of injury prevention include surveillance, coalitions, communication, interventions, and evaluation. The authors of this article present an overview of the more common pediatric injuries along with key components of injury-prevention strategies, specifically addressing the following injuries: motor vehicle crashes (with a section on teen driver crashes, sleep-related injury, and death), poisoning, all-terrain vehicle crashes, drowning, and firearm injuries.
At the conclusion of the activity, learners should be better prepared to:
- Recognize that injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among infants and children;
- Recognize that injury prevention interventions are a critical and effective intervention to reduce morbidity and mortality for infants and children due to injuries;
- Recognize that the annual economic costs and years of productive life lost due to injuries that affect infants and children are profound;
- Integrate injury prevention into health maintenance and episodic health care visits for infants and children.
