The American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Injury and Poison Prevention has issued a research-based policy statement highlighting falls as the number one cause of childhood injuries. Because all of these injuries are preventable, the report urges health-care providers to work with parents and community leaders to implement preventive strategies, many of which are outlined in the review.
