Sažetak
Participants were parents of children attending kindergartens under the jurisdiction of City of Zagreb and in Zagreb vicinity. Parents in the intervention group (n = 336) underwent educational intervention during parent meetings which included an oral presentation by the Croatian Poison Control Centre (CPCC) and distribution of gift packages (including a sticker with the CPCC number). Parents in the control group (n = 191) had only a brief explanation about CPCC functions and epidemiology of poisoning in children. At the baseline, 5 parents in the intervention group (1%) and 6 controls (3%) reported keeping the CPCC number by the telephone or in a list of important numbers. Afterwards, 157 parents in the intervention group (64%) started keeping the CPCC number ; but only 17 parents reported the same in the control group (12%). Effect was significant even after the adjustment for parents’ characteristics as possible confounders (sex, educational level, working status and number of children) by a multiple logistic regression model: intervention versus control OR = 13.06, 95% CI = 7.48-24.03, p < 0.001 (P model <0.001, pseudo R2 = 0.211).
