The Period of PURPLE Crying program is a trauma prevention program implemented in British Columbia since 2009.

A child’s risk of death or injury in a residential fire was greatly reduced in neighbourhoods with larger than average households.

This study examines social disparities across neighbourhood levels of income, education, and employment related to overall injury hospital separations in British Columbia.

Children’s play is increasingly controlled, costly and standardised. Risk aversion has resulted in attempts to eliminate all danger despite the limited health burden of play-related injuries and missing cost–benefit evidence.

The purpose of this commentary is to discuss how legalization of non-medical marijuana in Canada can potentially influence child and adolescent unintentional injuries based on evidence from states (American) and jurisdictions that have already legalized cannabis for recreational purposes.

Our objective was to determine whether the British Columbia experience implementing a province-wide prevention program reduced AHT hospitalization rates.
