All 33 full studies' effect sizes were calculated, and a meta-analysis was carried out using statistical transformation. Results The school-age child safety education program was found to have a significant effect, and in particular, safety knowledge showed the highest effect size. Among the child safety education programs, the effectiveness of safety education was found in the following order: activity and participation-oriented programs; assimilation and reading utilization programs; lecture-oriented programs using audiovisual materials; and web-based programs.
