Rationale
Physicians routinely incorporate strategies for prevention
of illness and injury into routine health supervision. Immunizations
have resulted in a drastic reduction in the rates of certain infectious
diseases. Injuries cause the majority of deaths in childhood and
adolescence. Illness and injury prevention must be a prominent and
recurrent theme during health maintenance and other health care
visits. The American Academy of Pediatrics most medical groups no
longer use the term "accident" as most childhood injuries
are believed to be predictable and preventable.
Note: There is a significant amount of overlap with the Health
Supervision portion of the curriculum. Poisoning is covered in a
separate section. Domestic violence is also addressed in the sections
on Behavior, Issues Unique to Adolescence, and Child Abuse.
Prerequisites
- Knowledge of clinical epidemiologic concepts as they pertain
to estimation of health risk and prevention of illness and injury.
- Understanding of the impact that culture, socioeconomic status
and environment have on illness and injury prevalence and patterns.
- An understanding of childhood development in order to better
understand risk and provide age appropriate prevention strategies.
