Child and Adolescent Safety Statistics
Safety is an important issue to consider when explaining the physical development in children and adolescence. For this discussion, you will address the following:
Provide examples of new safety guidelines that did not exist either when you were growing up, or when your parents were growing up.
Then, review What Is CRAAP? A Guide to Evaluating Web Sources (Links to an external site.) and search the internet for credible sources, using University of Arizona Global Campus Library’s video Scholarly and Popular Resources (Links to an external site.) for guidelines. Find and report on three statistics specifically related to child and adolescent safety from this current decade (2010 to present). Provide one statistic for each of the three stages: infancy or toddlerhood, childhood, and adolescence. Address the social system (family, school, and the community) that is affected by this statistic if applicable.
In other words, you will have one unique statistic for each of the three stages. Be sure to reference the site where the statistic was located.
See the example below:
One statistic found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention web page, under the Child Passenger Safety: Get the Facts, Risk Reduction for Every Age tab, states that, “Car seat use reduces the risk for death to infants (aged <1 year) by 71%; and to toddlers (aged 1–4 years) by 54% in passenger vehicles” (2017, para. 3).

According to a 2021 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is a leading cause of death and injury among children aged between 1 and 4 years (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021, para. 1). However, life jackets significantly save children’s lives when swimming. The above statistic affects the school, community, and the family social system.
Every infant, toddler, child, or adolescent has the right to excellent nutrition. Specifically, based on the World Health Organization (WHO), about 45% of children’s deaths are caused by under-nutrition. In 2020, 45 million toddlers under the age of 5 years were found to be wasted, 149 million were stunted, and 38.9 million were obese or overweight. Breastfeeding can save the lives of more than 820,000 children under the age of 5 years every year if mothers optimally breastfeed children in the first 23 months after birth (World Health Organization, 2021, para. 1).
