Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: the Injury Prevention Program (TIPP) of the American Academy of Pediatrics reduced significatively the number of unintended injuries in children less than two years, which adds evidence for its implementation in the well-child visits.

Reviewers´ commentary: this study, with a clinical trial design, adds evidence on the efficacy of non-intentional child injury prevention counseling in primary care, and although it has methodological limitations, it suggests that this counseling should continue to be provided in the pediatric office.
