N2  - Editorial: Kivistö et al (doi:10.1016/j.jpeds.2008.05.045) have studied the epidemiology of poisonings in children and adolescents living in Finland during the period 1971 to 2005. Overall, there was a decrease in the incidence of hospitalizations, particularly in the age group of 0 to 4 years (51% decrease). However, this good news was offset by an increase in hospitalizations for acute alcohol poisoning, particularly among teenagers. Prevention programs should be targeted at reducing alcohol consumption and alcohol-related poisonings among teenagers in Finland.    <p>Language: en</p>
