N2  - This study examined the relationships between two groups of Canadian preschool children (injured and noninjured) and their parents' risk perceptions, safety behaviors, parenting stress, and children's risk behaviors. Data analysis revealed significantly higher numbers of injury behaviors in the group of injured children (t = -2.46, p =.015). Contrary to the investigators' hypothesis, parents' perceptions of risk and hazard were not found to be significantly less among those parents of injured children. However, the parents of injured children had a higher score for perceived dangers for their children (t = -2.38, p =.01) and less parent stress (t = 3.38, p =.001).
