Surveillance through the primary healthcare system in Beijing was useful in child injury prevention as data collected allowed managers to design targeted interventions that resulted in decreased injury. In comparison with hospital based surveillance, PHC based surveillance demonstrated an advantage in wide access to children and allowed calculation of injury incidence rates to monitor trends over time. PHC based surveillance can serve as a useful venue to collect child injury data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
