Abstract(s)
In Portugal the low literacy in health is recognized. Literacy in
health is not only related to education, it arises from a convergence
of factors involving education, cultural and social factors
and health services. According to data provided by the World
Health Organization and World Bank, if awareness is not raised
and if global behavior does not change, road traffic injuries will
increase dramatically by 2020, becoming the third leading cause
of death around the world [1]. Nurses assume that they can be
real agents of change and have a role to play in helping to
shape the behavior of parents/other educators and to train them
in the correct use of child safety seats (CSS).
