"The bottom line is that multifaceted programs that include parent education are effective in reducing childhood injury," lead study author Dr. Denise Kendrick, of the University of Nottingham, told Reuters Health."

"When the researchers combined the findings of all the studies, they found that parent education cut children's injury risk by 18 percent. In addition, several individual studies showed that parents who received skills training took more steps to protect their children from household hazards -- like lowering the temperature on water heaters, covering electrical sockets and putting locks on cabinets to prevent accidental poisonings."
