Excerpt
INTRODUCTION The Technical Group on Psychosocial Factors related to Accidents in Childhood and Adolescence was convened in Brussels, from 29 to 3 1 January 1980, by the WHO Regional Office for Europe in cooperation with the Belgian Government. The meeting was attended by 16 temporary advisers from 11 countries, and by three members of staff of the WHO Regional Office for Europe. Professor E. Sand was elected Chairman and Professor R. Smith Rapporteur. The meeting was opened by Dr M. Postiglione, Director, Disease Prevention and Control, WHO Regional Office for Europe, on behalf of the Regional Director. He reminded the Group that the report of the recent WHO Conference on the Child and the Adolescent in Society (1) stated that one of the underlying causes of the high frequency of accidents, especially in adolescence, is psychosocial and that the origins of the problem lie neither in disease nor deprivation but rather in environmental conditions
