The objective of this study was to characterise the behavioural circumstances of dog bites by interviewing children \u226417 years (or parent proxies for children \u22646 years) presenting with dog bite injuries to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia about the bite incident, its setting and associated interactions. Of 203 children enrolled, 51% were &lt;7 years old and 55% were male. 72% of children knew the biting dog. Most bites to younger children occurred during positive interactions, initiated by the child, with stationary, familiar dogs, indoors. Most older bitten children had been active (eg, outdoors), unfamiliar with the dog and not interacting. Whereas face bites predominated (70%) in the younger group (&lt;7 years), bites to extremities predominated (72%) in the older group. Recognition of the two distinctive behavioural and circumstantial subgroups of dog bites that emerged can lead to more effective prevention strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.2010.029868","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,28]],"date-time":"2011-03-28T20:36:35Z","timestamp":1301344595000},"page":"348-353","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":79,"title":["Behavioural characteristics associated with dog bites to children presenting to an urban trauma centre"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ilana R","family":"Reisner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael L","family":"Nance","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason S","family":"Zeller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eileen M","family":"Houseknecht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nancy","family":"Kassam-Adams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Douglas J","family":"Wiebe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092505064114000_17.5.348.1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
