Child understandings of the causation of childhood burn injuries: Child activity, parental domestic demands, and impoverished settings

ConclusionThe children in this study ascribed burn injuries as the consequence of their developmental limits in the context of poverty, constraints on parental supervision, and unsafe environments. The children recommended safety education and upgrading their physical environments as part of burns injury prevention. The child accounts offer useful insights to inform safety interventions in impoverished settings.
