abstract="Cooking-related burn injuries accounted for 27% of the elderly female admissions at one burn center. The primary mode of injury was found to be ignition of clothing while reaching across a stove. To develop a prevention program for this problem, biologic and environmental hazards were identified. From this information, a two-phase prevention program was designed. Phase one, education, entailed the development, publication, and distribution of a pamphlet to a variety of local agencies. Phase two, an environment evaluation, consisted of contacting consumer relation departments of major stove manufacturers suggesting a product safety review. The community response to this program has been favorable. Its design should provide the foundation for preventing increased incidence of cooking-related burn injuries.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
