The overall objective was to characterize action by caregivers when a potential poison exposure occurs and identify barriers to poison control center (PCC) utilization. A prospective survey of caregivers of pediatric patients who presented to an emergency department for a potential poison exposure was completed by each study participant. A total of 371 surveys were completed between August 2016 and August 2017. The majority of patients were 3 years or younger. Caucasians were more likely to have heard of the PCC, had the toll-free number available, and had previously called compared with other races and ethnicities. Caregivers with some government insurance were more likely to think that PCCs report child poisoning calls to authorities. Education efforts of nationwide PCCs focus on awareness of the PCC as well as poison prevention strategies. Understanding barriers to utilization of PCC and populations who are more likely to underutilize the PCC can help direct education efforts.
