“…The fact that population growth is not compensated for in the tax equalisation system may help explain this finding. A similar result was observed by Guldbrandsson and Bremberg, (2004). Thus, it is plausible that the tax equalisation system adjusts basic differences in socio-economic conditions, but does not compensate municipal growth.…”

“…In countries where such equalisation systems exist the socio-economic characteristics of the population might not relate to the level of municipal activities, which probably enhances the opportunities in less affluent municipalities. This assumption was confirmed in a recent study in which socio-economic characteristics failed to predict the extent of safety-promoting activities aimed at children and adolescents (Guldbrandsson & Bremberg, 2004). Though, a negative correlation was found between population growth and the preschool system variable preschool staff with a university degree.…”

Preschools are environments where children are given opportunities to develop emotional, social and intellectual capabilities, characteristics that by recent research have been revealed as health protecting. The objectives of this study were to examine the intentions of 25 Swedish municipalities to develop such capabilities through activities in preschool and to relate these intentions to municipal socio-economic conditions. Indicators on municipal intentions to promote preschool children's emotional, social and intellectual capabilities were rather frequently utilised by the 25 municipalities in this study. However, promotion of physical activity, parent support, and children's influence in preschool were not prioritised. The extent of intended preschool activities was not determined by municipal wealth, which might be due to a national system for equalizing municipal resources.

Objective: To review the characteristics of unintentional injuries and their impact on children and adolescents. Sources of data:Articles published between 2000 and 2005 in the MEDLINE, EBSCO, Proquest, SciELO, BVS and Google Scholar databases were selected. The authors used the keywords unintentional injuries, injuries, safe home, burns, falls, drowning, scorpions, snakes, poisoning, child, adolescent, mortality, injury control, and hospitalization. Some articles were evaluated based on the selected publications.Summary of the findings: Unintentional injuries in the world and in Brazil are analyzed, and so are the behaviors currently adopted for injury prevention and control. The impact on mortality, on physical damage, and the economic burden of injuries are evaluated. Special emphasis is placed on home environment, approaching the effects of child development, social disparities and contextualization of home environment on childrens world and vulnerabilities. The main types of events that cause physical damage to the child and adolescent in the home environment are described. Conclusion:The prevention of injuries in the home environment is possible. In this case, health professionals have the challenge to reduce the consequences of unintentional injuries on the morbidity and mortality of children and young people in Brazil and in the whole world.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2005;81(5 Suppl):S146-S154: Safety, accident prevention, injuries, home accidents, home safety, injury control.

“…Os estudos que enfocaram a prioridade na intervenção ambiental não tiveram sucesso na demonstração conclusiva de seu poder de intervenção, especialmente por utilizarem como parâmetro a ocorrência prévia de acidentes 76 . As comunidades em crescimento possuem dificuldade de incentivar atividades de proteção contra injúrias, mas não há correlação estabelecida entre as diferenças nas características dos municípios e sua capacidade de desenvolver proteção física 77 .…”

ResumoObjetivo: Revisar as características das injúrias físicas não intencionais e seu impacto sobre a criança e o adolescente. Fontes dos dados:Foram selecionados artigos publicados principalmente entre 2000 e 2005 nas bases de dados MEDLINE, EBSCO, Proquest, SciELO, BVS e Google Scholar. Utilizaram-se as seguintes palavras-chave: injúrias, injúrias não intencionais, casa segura, queimaduras, quedas, afogamentos, escorpionismo, ofidismo, intoxicação, criança, adolescente, mortalidade, controle de injúrias e internações. Alguns artigos foram avaliados a partir de referência de publicações pesquisadas.Síntese dos dados: São contextualizadas as injúrias não intencionais no mundo e no Brasil, bem como identificadas as condutas atualmente adotadas para sua prevenção e controle. São avaliados os impactos sobre a mortalidade, sobre o conjunto de danos físicos e o impacto econômico das injúrias. É enfatizado o enfoque sobre o ambiente doméstico, com a abordagem evolutiva da criança, as disparidades sociais e a contextualização do ambiente doméstico sobre o mundo infantil e as vulnerabilidades. São identificados os principais tipos de eventos que causam dano físico à criança e ao adolescente, especialmente no âmbito domiciliar.Conclusão: A prevenção de injúrias no ambiente doméstico é uma realidade possível, determinando desafios aos profissionais da área de saúde para a redução do imp...
