“…Consumer Product Safety Commission, 1994) requiring choking hazard labels for toys and national choking prevention recommendations (Committee on Injury, Violence and Poison Prevention, 2010), overall deaths due to choking have slightly decreased for children and young adults ages 1–19 years old. However, a study conducted by (Chang et al 2021) alarmingly found over 300,000 injuries and 2,300 deaths were attributed to choking alone from 2001 to 2016. This study also found that rates of choking deaths did not decrease for 0- to 5-year-olds, which has been the primary risk group making up 75% of choking deaths.…”

Choking is a leading cause of mortality in children. Over half of choking injuries occur due to food, and the remaining injuries involve common household objects. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate Behavioral Skills Training (BST) to teach choking hazard identification and correction to substitute caregivers. Method: This study evaluated the efficacy of using BST to teach nonedible choking hazard identification (Phase 1) and edible choking hazard identification and correction (Phase 2) to substitute caregivers following guidelines from the Home Accident Prevention Inventory-Revised Protocol. Results: The results found that all participants significantly improved their hazard identification and correction following BST in both phases. Generalization probes were high in baseline for all participants across phases; however, all participants scored 100% correct on the final generalization probes. Discussion: Implications for practice and future research considerations for choking prevention training are discussed.

“…Food plays a major role among objects causing these injuries ( 2 ). Furthermore, data from the Susy Safe database ( 3 ), perhaps the largest international collection of data on foreign body injuries in children aged 0–14, indicate that adult supervisors lack proper information, a fact also confirmed by a recent survey conducted on parents of children under the age of four ( 4 ).…”

Choking injuries are one of the major causes of death among children ages 0–3, and most of these injuries are related to food. This work provides an overview of the current recommendations for food choking prevention and educational targets as a basis for developing a unified common set of knowledge for primary prevention policies development. Guidelines published by professional membership organizations and national governments in the English language were considered. All of these guidelines provide lists of hazardous food items and recommendations for food preparation to minimize choking hazard. Together with recommendations for food preparation, also recommendations aimed at stakeholders (food manufacturers, health care providers, and public authorities) are provided, underlining that this severe public health problem should be further addressed by adopting integrated public health interventions. Our overview stressed the importance of developing educational and primary prevention policies to sensitize adult supervisors and to regulate dangerous food products in the market.

Introduction: Choking is a common health problem in children, especially those under the age of three and younger. Also, one of the most common case in emergency medical service. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors that correlated with choking prevention behaviour in mothers who have toddlers. Methods: This study used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach that conducted at an integrated service post, Purworejo Village. The population in this study were 154 mothers who had toddlers. Inclusion criteria include could access google forms, were domiciled in Purworejo Village, and lived with their families and toddlers. Exclusion criteria were mothers with special needs and toddlers with special conditions, and when the research was conducted, the mother was outside the Purworejo village. Sample selection used the cluster sampling technique with the sample size was 111 mothers. Result: There was a relationship between knowledge (p=0.007 r=0.253), attitudes (p=0.018 r=0.224), and family support (p=0.011 r=0.242) with choking prevention behaviour, and there was no relationship between the availability of health facilities (p=0.827 r=0.021) with choking prevention behaviour. Conclusion : Better knowledge, attitudes and family support will represent better choking prevention behaviour. Therefore, support from various parties, such as nurses, is needed to carry out health promotion related to preventing choking in families. Further research is needed regarding other factors influencing mothers' choking prevention behaviour.
