Discuss accidents as a cause of death in early childhood.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Accidents cause more deaths in early childhood than the next six most frequent causes combined (Johnson et al., 2014; Leading Causes of Death, 2016). The single most common cause of death in early childhood is motor vehicle accidents. Boys are more likely than girls to incur accidental injuries at all ages and in all socioeconomic groups. Poor children are five times as likely to die from fires and more than twice as likely to die in motor vehicle accidents as other children (Leading Causes of Death, 2016). The high accident rate of low-income children may result partly from living in dangerous housing and neighborhoods.
