Child Drowning
Children, particularly those aged 1 to 4 years, carry the overwhelming burden of drowning in high, middle and low income countries. The majority of papers in this stream concentrated on high income countries (HICs) where hazards such as home swimming pools , bathtubs and agricultural reservoirs have been the focus of interventions for many years.
The Child Drowning stream focused on targeted drowning prevention interventions, advances in child drowning research and the impact of public policy on child drowning. The stream facilitated the coming together of research, policy and practice for the purpose of identifying, confirming and pondering strategies to prevent child drowning.
