Review Meta Analysis
The effect of education and home safety equipment on childhood thermal injury prevention: meta-analysis and meta-regression.
To evaluate whether home safety education and safety equipment provision increases thermal injury prevention practices or reduces thermal injury rates and whether the effect of interventions differs by social group. ⋯ Home safety education, especially with the provision of safety equipment, is effective in increasing some thermal injury prevention practices, but there is insufficient evidence to show whether this also reduces injury rates.
