Abstract
A program directed at a specific town and coordinated by a local community group is more effective in transmitting poison control knowledge than a statewide poison prevention week effort. Transmission of educational material is optimized through programs directed at a specific age group (ages 6-14 yr). Information on where to obtain the poison center number and actual acquisition of Ipecac syrup in homes was well-transmitted.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
