NC CHAMP is a follow-up survey of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) telephone survey of adults, ages 18 and older. All adult respondents with children living in their household are invited to participate in the CHAMP survey. One child is randomly selected from the household and the adult most knowledgeable about the health of the selected child is interviewed in a follow-up survey. This surveillance update includes data collected in 2010 on 1,994 parental surveys of children ages 0 to 17 years. Results presented here are for parents who reported that during the past 12 months, their child had injury requiring medical attention. Percentages are weighted to population characteristics.
