Title: **“A Preliminary Evaluation of Two Behavioral Skills Training Procedures for Teaching Abduction-Prevention Skills to Schoolchildren”**

Found at: **[]**

Synopsis: **Although child abduction is a low-rate event, it presents a serious threat to the safety of children. The victims of child abduction face the threat of physical and emotional injury, sexual abuse, and death. Previous research has shown that behavioral skills training (BST) is effective in teaching children abduction-prevention skills, although not all children learn the skills. This study compared BST only to BST with an added in situ training component to teach abduction-prevention skills in a small-group format to schoolchildren. Results showed that both programs were effective in teaching abduction-prevention skills. In addition, the scores for the group that received in situ training were significantly higher than scores for the group that received BST alone at the 3-month follow-up assessment.**

Title**: Mothers’ Home-Safety Practices for Preventing Six Types of Childhood Injuries: What Do They Do, and Why?**

Found at**: []**

Synopsis**: In general, parents know the safety measures that need to be taken in order to provide safety for their children in the home. However, even knowing what is right and what is wrong, parents tend to disregard teaching their children precautious measures of injury prevention in the home, even though they should take active measures in safety-promotion. This article focuses on the most common child injuries in the homes: falls, poisoning, drowning, cuts, burns, and suffocation/strangulation/choking. **
