Description

Jieyi He and eleven colleagues test a phone app for preventing injuries among rural Chinese preschoolers, in a trial report from twenty twenty-five. Unintentional injury burdens young children in resource-limited areas. Twenty-four preschools joined a twelve-month cluster trial. Nearly four thousand children and caregivers enrolled.

Preschools were randomized to injury-prevention app education or general app content. Injury incidence fell significantly in the intervention group. Caregiver safety attitudes improved as well. Supervision behaviors and home environment scores also rose. About eighty-seven percent of participants finished the study. The authors say the app could spread widely across China. It could also adapt to other low-resource settings.
