Abstract
Methods: Information about children under 16 injured in the city of Boulogne-Billancourt and its surroundings, are extracted in a database.

It may constitute an "alarm system" by allowing rapid implementation of preventive action. The final evaluation of the collected data will be performed at the end of the program (after five years).
