A group of Public Health students presenting their graduation project.
Doha: A group of Public Health students in Qatar University’s (QU) College of Health Sciences presented their graduation project yesterday, which researched child restraint systems importance among parents in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) through a systematic review.
The group of students includes Huda Al Motawa, Shouq Baker and Nejood Nasher. The project was supervised by Dr. Marguerite Claire Sendall.
Their findings suggest that the use of child restraint systems in the Gulf region is influenced by several factors, including a lack of knowledge about risks and proper usage and the influence of local culture and attitudes.
The students recommended that more interventions are required towards promoting the use of child restraint systems in the Gulf region.
