%X OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between behavioral problems and accidental injuries among preschoolers, and to provide evidence for the targeted prevention of children's accidental injuries. <br><br>METHODS During September to October 2019, parent of 2 062 children aged 3 to 6 selected from 8 kindergartens in Hefei through stratified clustering method were investigated. The prevalence of accidental injuries and behavioral problems among preschoolers was collected by questionnaire survey. <br><br>RESULTS The prevalence of accidental injury during the past year was 14.55%(300), and behavioral problems 14.21%(293). Total rate of behavioral problems and rate of each dimensions in children with accidental injury were 32.67%, 2.33%, 19.67%, 15.00%, 2.00%, 1.00% and 5.00%, compared to 11.07%, 0.45%, 6.41%, 4.88%, 0.40%, 0.17% and 0.79% in children without accidental injury (χ2=98.11, 12.54, 58.90, 44.12, 10.51, 6.08, 32.68, P < 0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that psychosomatic problems(OR=3.13, 95%CI=2.11-4.66), learning problems(OR=2.73, 95%CI=1.86-3.99), abnormal hyperactivity index (OR=3.16, 95%CI=1.40-7.14) and left-behind children (OR=1.53, 95%CI=1.13-2.07) were associated with higher risk of accidental injuries(P < 0.05). <br><br>CONCLUSION Behavioral problems are significantly associated with unintentional injuries among preschool children, which deserved further attention and intervention when formulating prevention and control measures for childhood accidental injury.
