Abstract

While the three demonstration programs failed to document a major impact on prevention of poisoning, they do provide a rationale for selected strategies that may have wide application. Future efforts and successes in poison prevention will involve both the primary care physician and the poison center, using primary and passive interventions. The primary physician can be a source of information and counseling, while the poison center, having succeeded in secondary prevention, can expand its role into primary prevention.
