	In an international perspective Sweden has a low number of child accidents. The accidents that happen most often occur in the home – more precisely in the kitchen (Swedish Rescue Services Agency, 2007). My PhD thesis focusing at how we can increase the knowledge and therefore prevent child accidents-especially scald and burns. To prevent is important; the pain and the trauma of treatments are huge to the children, the hospital stays and the rehabilitation can be long and sometimes give permanent problems. The overarching aim of this PhD thesis was to increase the knowledge about children’s (0-6 years old) exposure to accidents at home by describing parents self-reported precautions taken at home to decrease the risk of child injuries, the extent of burn and scalds, the parents’ opinions about course of events and in an intervention study investigate the effect individual-based information have on mothers’ attitudes towards child injury and injury prevention and to taken precautions at home.
