Health care providers, hospitals, and other agencies working with families promote safety practices. They furnish or link families to sources of car seats, home fire alarms, bicycle helmets, and window guards. They provide information on household safety, including the prevention of accidental falls, drownings, poisonings, dangerous ingestions, shaken-baby syndrome, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

| The National Safe Kids Campaign conducts research and disseminates information about preventing unintentional injury. State and local coalition members offer programs on the proper use of child passenger safety seats and bike helmets through media events, device distribution, and educational activities. Through local health departments, the Campaign also supports a home visiting program to reduce unintentional injuries among children age 14 and younger who live in communities with high rates of preventable, home-related deaths and injuries. Through local fire departments, the Campaign supports fire prevention programs that sponsor community events and provide discounted fire alarms to families. www.safekids.org/ | |
