Grandparent Caregivers Cut Kids' Injury Risk in Half
Date:11/3/2008

chers studied the association between family structure and injury risk. The likelihood of injury was higher among children whose parents never married than among children whose mothers stayed married throughout the child's life. Children in homes in which the father didn't reside were also more likely to suffer injuries. These associations were independent of family income.

The study was published in the November issue of Pediatrics.
