ObjectivesWhile appropriate child restraint use in motor vehicles can reduce the risk of injuries or deaths, few previous studies have assessed child restraint practice in China. We aim to describe the prevalence of child restraint use and investigate risk factors affecting child restraint practice in Shanghai, China.Design and settingA cross-sectional observational study was conducted near children’s hospitals, kindergartens, entertainment places and shopping malls in Shanghai, China.ParticipantsEight rounds of data were collected between October 2015 and April 2019 with a total sample size of 12 061 children.Primary outcome measuresAt each site, trained field workers observed and recorded child restraint use in all passing motor vehicles with at least one child passenger.ResultsThe overall child safety restraint use rate was 6.42%. Child restraint use rate rose over time, from 5.12% in round 1% to 8.55% in round 8 (p<0.001). Results from the adjusted logistic regression model showed that children occupants with the following risk factors had a higher likelihood of child restraint use: children younger than 5 years compared with those aged 5–12 years (OR 2.12; 95% CI 1.78 to 2.53; p<0.001), sitting in rear seat compared with those in front seat (OR 31.80; 95% CI 4.45 to 227.14; p=0.001), children occupants observed near entertainment places (OR 2.34; 95% CI 1.67 to 3.28; p<0.001) or near shopping malls (OR 1.86; 95% CI 1.36 to 2.55; p<0.001) compared with those near children’s hospitals and transportation in the morning compared with afternoon (OR 1.30; 95% CI 1.04 to 1.62; p=0.021).ConclusionsThe overall child safety restraint use rate was low in Shanghai. Our findings may shed light on monitoring child restraint practice and have implications for intervention programmes for children occupants with the identified risk factors, which may help to promote child restraint use in motor vehicles and prevent road traffic injuries or deaths.

The death of child passengers was one of the leading causes of death among children fatally injured on roads in China. Child restraint can effectively protect child passengers. Mandatory child restraint law has been enacted locally in Shanghai and Shenzhen, two major cities in China. In order to understand the public attitude on national legislation in these cities, we conducted a cross-sectional survey with a sample of parents/caregivers with a child aged 0–6 years and own private car from Shanghai and Shenzhen. We used descriptive statistics to describe the distribution of parental awareness and attitudes towards the legislation of child restraint. There were less than 50% parents who were aware of the local legislation of child restraint use. Even though only around 20% of parents were able to respond accurately to the age standard in legislation, among those who knew of the legislation, most of the parents understood that the law had enforcement measures. More than 70% of parents supported the national legislation of child restraint use, and, among them, around 70% supported enforcement and punishment. Thus, the study provided supportive evidence for national legislation, but it also put forward that the work of popularizing law should be strengthened.

Malaria is one of the health problems in Indonesia, especially West Sumatra. Determination of the description of Malaria disease in an area is needed to determine the spread and severity of the disease. This study aims to determine the frequency distribution according to age, sex and place of residence, description of the types of Plasmodium causes of Malaria and hematological features in Malaria patients at Siti Rahmah Padang Hospital in 2018. This type of research is a descriptive observational study with an approach or design cross section (cross sectional). The frequency distribution of Malaria sufferers in Siti Rahmah Padang Hospital in 2018 according to the highest age was in the age group 21-30 years as many as 28 cases (36.8%), the highest sex among men was 46 (60.5%) and the highest number of residences was found in Koto Tangah sub-district there were 31 cases (40.8%). The type of Plasmodium found in Malaria cases in Siti Rahmah Padang Hospital in 2018 was P. vivax (73 cases (96.05%)) and P. falciparum (3 cases (3.95%)). The results of laboratory tests on Hb, hematocrit, platelet and leukocyte levels in Malaria positive patients in Siti Rahmah Padang Hospital in 2018 were in the normal range.
