Students are continuously exposed to the risks of falls, in the school environment. Therefore, a thorough examination of student behaviours and the environmental conditions of schools is of significant importance for preventing fall-related injuries in students. This study aims to investigate the influential factors for preventing fall-related injuries among primary school students using the PRECEDE model. This cross-sectional study has been done among 428 primary school students from grades one to six in schools of Hamadan city, located in western Iran. The students were selected randomly through a multi-stage cluster sampling method and data collection has been done between December 2023 and February 2024. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire based on the PRECEDE model. The questionnaire was included three sections including demographic questions, questions related to the constructs of the PRECEDE model (preventive behaviour constructs; predisposing factors including knowledge and attitude; reinforcing factors; enabling factors; and environmental factors), and questions concerning the history of fall-related injuries at school. The data collection has been done through interviews with the students. Data were analyzed using SPSS24 software after collection. The results of this study revealed that out of 428 students, 131(30.6%) experienced falls, with ages ranging from 7 to 12 years and an average age of 9.5 ± 1.70 years. Among these, 54 (41.2%) were females and 77 (58.7%) were males. The findings indicate that males experienced more falls than females, and females exhibited better preventive behaviours than males (<i>p</i> = 0.002). Most falls occurred in the schoolyard (37.4%) and during recess time (40.5%). The most common types of injuries were abrasions (28.2%) and head injuries (24.4%). Additionally, the findings showed that parents' education level was significantly associated with preventive fall behaviours among students. Hence, the students with parents who had higher education levels (mothers' education with (<i>p</i> = 0.02) and fathers' education with (<i>p</i> = 0.03) demonstrated better preventive behaviours and were less at risk of falls. Among the constructs of the PRECEDE model, the predisposing factors of knowledge (<i>p</i> = 0.04) and attitude (<i>p</i> = 0.001), enabling factors (<i>p</i> = 0.02), and environmental factors (<i>p</i> = 0.03) had a significant relationship with fall-preventive behaviours. According to the statistical results, the attitude construct was the predictor of students' fall- preventive behaviours. The study results indicated that fall-related injuries in the studied group are high. Additionally, the PRECEDE model can help identify factors associated with fall prevention among students.

Existing researches mostly focus on the qualitative analysis of dual prevention mechanisms, such as the relevant concept definitions, specific industries practice, information system design, etc. However, systematic and in-depth quantitative research on the influencing factors of dual prevention mechanism construction is relatively scarce. Considering these, to effectively improve the operation effect of dual prevention mechanisms for Chinese coalmine, 6 types of internal and external factors impacting dual prevention mechanism construction are systematically analyzed according to Stakeholder Theory, and theoretical model about impacting mechanisms is established based on TPB. Secondly, we use 626 valid questionnaires as evidence source and SEM as evidence production method to test the fitting degree, direct effect and mediating effect of theoretical model. Finally, we deeply reveal the influence path and impact intensity of 6 factors on the willingness and behavior of dual prevention mechanism construction in coal enterprise. Meanwhile, policy suggestions are proposed to strengthen the dual prevention mechanism construction in coal enterprise. Results indicate that: ①Enterprise safety climate, cognition from management layer, government supervision and public monitoring can not only directly affect, but also indirectly affect the behavior of dual prevention mechanism construction through the willingness of dual prevention mechanism construction. ②Overall impact intensity of 6 factors on the behavior of dual prevention mechanism construction ranks: public monitoring > government supervision > cognition from management layer > employee safety attitude > enterprise safety climate > enterprise organization and management ability. ③External thrusts/pressures that promote the dual prevention mechanism construction in coal enterprise still cannot be ignored, while internal driving forces need to be further strengthened.</p>","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the theory of road user safety fields, we construct a collision risk force indicator tailored for rear-end conflict scenarios. By analyzing the impact of driver attributes and vehicle features on risk force, as well as key road environmental factors influencing rear-end accidents, we propose a specific calibration method for the collision risk force indicator. This is further refined using historical accident data for parameter calibration. We then employ the Peak-Over-Threshold (POT) model and utilize the collision risk force values as input indicator to predict the annual average accident frequency. As a case study, we select intersections in Guilin City and extract vehicle trajectory information. The calibrated collision risk force method is applied to obtain accident prediction values for the intersections. The results demonstrate that the predicted annual frequency of rear-end accidents, based on the collision risk force indicator, aligns with the 95% Poisson confidence interval of actual accidents, validating the accuracy of our research method.

Therefore, identifying the factors influencing risky pedestrian behavior is crucial in urban India. A total of 59,409 pedestrians' road-using behavior was analyzed using video surveillance, complemented by on-site questionnaire responses from 3840 pedestrians regarding their risk perception, self-reported behaviors, and knowledge of traffic rules. Binary and ordered logit models were employed to assess the impact of the built environment, sociodemographic factors, and traffic enforcement on unsafe pedestrian actions. Results reveal a strong association between unsafe behavior and commercial zones, with young males more prone to signal violations and unsafe crossings. Further, poor lighting, inaccessible zebra crossings, on-street parking, lack of enforcement, and longer waiting times influence the likelihood of signal violations. A 1% increase in footpath encroachment by street vendors leads to an 18% rise in footpath underutilization. The lack of essential amenities and poor accessibility at bus stops discourages pedestrians from waiting at designated locations.

In contrast, traffic in many developing countries (e.g. China and India) is characterized by vehicular heterogeneity and multi-vehicle interactions due to non-lane-based movements. This paper provides a systematic review of 102 peer-reviewed studies in developing countries focusing on vehicular conflicts in traffic streams with heterogeneous vehicle composition and disorderly movement. This review highlights the salient features and challenges associated with SSMs-based safety assessment in developing countries and outlines potential directions for future research. It examines data collection techniques, sample sizes, and the suitability of various conflict indicators for non-lane-based traffic. Additionally, the impact of vehicular heterogeneity on conflict modeling is analyzed.
