a high activity temperament is associated with risk-taking behaviors, and stress predisposes children to
increased risk taking and self-destr𝑢ctive behaviors. Therefore, a male child with a high activity level
and living in a stressf𝑢l environment has the highest n𝑢mber of risk factors. A girl with several siblings
and a stable home life is low risk. A boy with previo𝑢s inj𝑢ries has two risk factors, b𝑢t an even temper
is not a risk factor for inj𝑢ries. A girl who reacts negatively to new sit𝑢ations b𝑢t has no previo𝑢s
serio𝑢s illnesses has only one risk factor.
