CHILDHOOD UNINTENTIONAL HOME INJURIES: CAREGIVER'S PERCEPTION AND PRACTICE IN URBAN AND RURAL AREAS OF PLATEAU STATE, NIGERIA.

Abstract

The study concludes that there are significant knowledge gaps among caregivers regarding unintentional home injuries (UHI) between rural and urban areas. Despite lower knowledge levels in rural settings, UHI rates are higher, underscoring the importance of knowledge in injury prevention. Variations in fate belief, parental protectiveness, and practices further contribute to differences in UHI occurrences.
