However, there is a wide variation in patterns of poisoning and related risk factors across different geographic regions globally. This hospital based case-control study identifies the risk factors of acute unintentional poisoning among children aged 1\u22125 years of the rural community in a developing Asian country.<jats:italic>Methods.<\/jats:italic>This hospital based case-control study included 600 children. Each group comprised three hundred children and all children were recruited at Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital, Sri Lanka, over two years (from February 2012 to January 2014). The two groups were compared to identify the effect of 23 proposed risk factors for unintentional poisoning using multivariate analysis in a binary logistic regression model.<jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic>Multivariate analysis identified eight risk factors which were significantly associated with unintentional poisoning. The strongest risk factors were inadequate supervision (95% CI: 15.4\u201352.6), employed mother (95% CI: 2.9\u201317.5), parental concern of lack of family support (95% CI: 3.65\u201383.3), and unsafe storage of household poisons (95% CI: 1.5\u20134.9).<jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic>Since inadequate supervision, unsafe storage, and unsafe environment are the strongest risk factors for childhood unintentional poisoning, the effect of community education to enhance vigilance, safe storage, and assurance of safe environment should be evaluated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/4375987","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,8]],"date-time":"2017-08-08T21:02:46Z","timestamp":1502226166000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Risk Factors for Acute Unintentional Poisoning among Children Aged 1\u20135 Years in the Rural Community of Sri Lanka"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0438-9837","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"M.
