Physician Counseling
In 2010, the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute partnered with the Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research (ACICR) to create a resource for Pediatricians and Family Physicians to assist in patient counseling regarding unintentional injury prevention.
The resources are intended to encourage physician counseling on child injury prevention and to increase parent and caregiver interest in injury prevention. Print resources should be provided to parents and caregivers during routine medical visits, complementing physician counseling. The resources focus on injury prevention for children from birth to nine years of age. A poster is also available for health centers to display, encouraging discussion between physicians and parents and caregivers on injury prevention.
To order the resources please view the Resource section below.
In response to previous evaluation feedback, an additional physician counseling resource was developed. This physician counseling resource is intended to assist physicians in providing specific information on injury topics and is not meant to be distributed to parents and caregivers.
