We appreciate commendations and valuable comments brought by Battaglia and Kiser regarding our analysis of injuries occurring in day care center versus home environment. They suggest a possible alternative interpretation of the data we report in the paper. In particular, they note the possibility that differences in exposure-adjusted injury rates among children in home versus day-care settings may result from differences in the propensity of parents and day care staff to seek medical treatment for children with minor injuries.
