Abstract
Injuries are the leading cause of death for children. This review integrates the epidemiological literature on children's injury rates and the behavioral correlates of children's injuries with the psychological literature on gender based behavioral differences in children and parenting differences based on child gender. Boys are more likely to experience most kinds of injuries and are more likely to be involved in behaviors that are highly correlated with injury. Common parenting strategies may also be associated with an increase in boys' injury risk. Understanding the mechanism of boys' increased risk is a vital task that may ultimately prevent injuries in both boys and girls.
