Preventing childhood accidental poisoning and chemical burn injury at home through an interactive programme based on GHS hazard warning signs: single-group pretest and post-test intervention study in Jordan
Alternative means of responding such as sorting true/false statements, or drawing lines to connect correct objects with corresponding pictograms could be considered for younger children. There was a need to show the pictograms in context for better understanding. Despite a dangerous lack of understanding initially, the programme achieved short-term retention of knowledge at post-test. Secondary prevention opportunities should also be explored.
