This study found that burn injuries among under-five children in the Dodoma region are more prevalent in rural areas than in urban areas. In comparing predictors of burn wounds in rural and urban areas, a major contributing factor to burn wounds in rural areas is poor caregiver supervision, while the predictor of burn wounds in urban areas is household hazards.
