ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the current situation of animal injury among children in Chongqing, and to provide a scientific basis for relevant departments to formulate and implement strategies and measures to prevent and control animal injury to children. Methods According to the method of multi-stage stratified cluster sampling, 14,056 children in grades 4-12 in four districts of Chongqing were selected as the investigation subjects, and the occurrence of animal injuries in the past 6 months was investigated. Results The incidence of animal injury among school children in Chongqing was 0.35% and the incidence of person-time was 0.36%. The incidence rate in males (0.48%) was higher than that in females (0.31%). The incidence rate in urban children (0.43%) was higher than that in rural children (0.30%). The incidence of animal injury was the lowest in nuclear families (0.25%), and the highest in single-parent families (0.82%). There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of animal injuries in children among different fathers' occupational types, family types and parents' parenting styles (P<0.05).  The main place of child animal injury was home (57.14%). Recreational activities were the main cause of animal injury (51.02%). The main injuries were lower limbs (42.86%), upper limbs (24.49%) and head (10.20%).
