abstract="Although maternal supervision has been found to reduce injury risk in young children, it is not clear whether supervision moderates the impact of social-ecological risk variables on children's injury frequency. This study examined whether maternal supervision moderated the relation of child, maternal, and family risk factors to children's minor injuries. Mothers (N = 170) of toddlers were interviewed biweekly about their children's injuries and their supervision over a 6-month period, and mothers completed measures about child and family variables. Supervision moderated the effect of mothers' marital/partner relationship satisfaction on children's injury frequency; closer supervision was protective for mothers with lower relationship satisfaction. <br><br>FINDINGS suggest that helping mothers with low levels of relationship satisfaction provide closer supervision for their children may mitigate the effects of low marital satisfaction on children's injury frequency.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
