While parental supervision and home environment are key factors influencing these injuries, few studies have explored the correlation between them. This study aimed to examine the relationship between home environment, parental supervision, and unintentional home injuries, and to investigate whether parental supervision mediates this relationship.Methods: This study, conducted in Shanghai, China from June to August in 2023, using a convenience sample. Paper questionnaires were distributed to 600 parents of children, assessing unintentional injuries, parent supervision (using parent supervision attributes profile questionnaire), in-home environmental risk scale and demographic variables. A bootstrap test was applied to assess the mediating role of parental supervision.Results: Both in-home environment risks and parental supervision were significantly related to unintentional home injuries in children under 3. Moreover, parental supervision was found to partially mediate the relationship between environmental risks and injuries, explaining 14.2% of the total effect.Conclusion: Children under 3 were highly vulnerable to unintentional home injuries. Enhancing parental supervision may reduce the impact of environmental risks on injury occurrence. These findings offer practical guidance for health practitioners, underscoring the value of community-based interventions and tailored educational programs for injury prevention. Future research should explore intervention effectiveness and long-term outcomes.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1606726"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11882363/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143572836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that extreme temperatures have particularly stronger positive effect on hospital admission and inpatient care utilization among old and poor patients. The fiscal impact of extreme temperatures is greater in areas with more generous income eligibility criteria for public health insurance.Conclusion: The study advances our understanding of how extreme temperatures affect healthcare utilization of low-income and elderly populations and the roles public health insurance plays in supporting them from increasing weather risks.

Age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) were calculated, and joinpoint regressions were used to examine trends in ASMRs.Results: There were overall decreasing trends in ASMRs for all cancers in both rural and urban young people in China from 2004 to 2021. However, the decrease was relatively slower in rural areas, where ASMRs for pancreatic and ovarian cancers showed increasing trends. The five leading types of cancer deaths consistently remained liver, lung, leukemia, stomach, and other cancers in both rural and urban areas after 2013.Conclusion: Our findings indicate that there were rural-urban disparities in cancer mortality in young people, which showed a different pattern compared to other age groups.
