Abstract
The Choking Game (TCG), practiced by adolescents, involves forced asphyxiation to obtain a ‘high’, occasionally causing seizures or death. Few parents report discussing TCG with their child despite their critical role in injury‐prevention. This paper examined parental knowledge of TCG and perceptions of TCG‐related discussions with their child. From parent responses, eight thematic elements were identified: Risks; Awareness; Peer Context; External Resources; Basic Information; Prevention Strategy; Participation; and Told Not To. We propose a guide for parents planning a TCG prevention discussion is offered based on naturally occurring parental conversations.
