Falls send more Canadian children to hospital with injuries than any other cause, followed by car and cycling collisions, according to a new interactive website created by BC Children’s Hospital researchers in collaboration with partners at York University in Toronto. Drowning is the least common reason for a hospital visit after burns and choking.
Not only do parents of children with Type 1 diabetes need to watch their child’s blood sugar levels, they also need to pay attention to their kid’s blood pressure.
Congratulations to the BC Injury Research & Prevention Unit (BCIRPU) at BC Children’s Hospital, whose video on physical literacy received an award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH) for the 2019 IHDCYH Talks Video Competition.
