Today&#8217;s post is also enlightening for me as an injury prevention researcher: what about injury prevention in children of adults diagnosed with Parkinson&#8217;s disease?<\/p>\n<p>I found a\u00a0short article this morning that discussed just this issue. The recent commentary in <em>Adolescent Health, Medicine and Therapeutics<\/em> by Morley and Jenkinson highlights the need for greater understanding of the needs of adolescent children with parents who have Parkinson&#8217;s disease. Importantly the research has a broader scope than focusing upon supporting them in their\u00a0carer role.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous issues for the adolescent child are raised, including social and emotional development, fears for the future, and mental\u00a0health to\u00a0name a few.\u00a0From an injury prevention perspective,\u00a0professionals managing\u00a0the diagnosed also need to manage their\u00a0adolescent children if we are going to minimise\u00a0potential harms for these vulnerable members of our community.<\/p>\n<p>Rigorous research &#8211; which includes control groups &#8211; is required. Longitudinal\u00a0research which\u00a0can elucidate the long term impact upon the child, help identify\u00a0families at greatest risk, and guide the development and implementation of effective interventions is vital. Cross-cultural research, and research focusing upon single-parent families in particular, is also required.<\/p>\n<p>Read more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/articles.php?article_id=13820\">http:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/articles.php?article_id=13820<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regular readers of the Injury Prevention blog will know that I frequently share articles, reports and other information that changes the way I perceived and\/or understood various mechanisms of injury and their broader impact.
