TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Preventing childhood accidents in the home: parental behavior to reduce household hazards JO - Scandinavian journal of psychology A1 - Thuen, F. SP - 370 EP - 377 VL - 33 IS - 4 N2 - The parents of all children between 6 and 18 months in four Norwegian municipalities participated in an investigation to assess to what extent parents take actions to reduce household hazards their children are exposed to, and to identify factors associated with such behaviors. The Health Belief Model was used as a theoretical framework guiding the selection of variables. The results indicate that most parents take considerable action to reduce household hazards. The constructs derived from the Health Belief Model accounted for only a small part of the variance in parental behavior to reduce hazards in the home.
