History of maltreatment among unintentional injury deaths: analyses of Texas child fatality review data, 2005–2007

Abstract

These data show that the mechanisms and circumstances surrounding unintentional injury deaths among children with a history of maltreatment differ from those without a history of maltreatment. This underscores the need for appropriate interventions to prevent unintentional and intentional injuries in families with a history of maltreatment.
