In calmer conditions (spilling waves; ≤1m; no rips/currents), caregivers were significantly more likely to report low/no drowning risk. The majority of caregivers reported that their child was at low risk of drowning in pool environments (public and home) and at flat beaches (patrolled by lifeguards or unpatrolled); moderate risk at lake, dam or lagoon; and patrolled surf beaches; and high risk at unpatrolled surf beaches. Caregivers reported water depth; type of waves; and currents/rips as environmental factors which contributed to their perceived level of risk at the beach, whilst rocks, reefs and headlands; stingers; strong winds; and water temperature were of less importance to them when judging risk. This chapter provides new insight into caregivers’ assessment of child drowning risk in diverse aquatic environments. Increased understanding of caregivers’ risk perception, coupled with understanding of factors which contribute to this perception, may guide future development of caregiver education programs and water safety campaigns which aim to reduce child drowning risk.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:00:50 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5491 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:07 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5492 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:07 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5421 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:03 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5223 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:44:51 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4563 35 years) compared to younger caregivers (≤34 years). Compared to children playing alone, children playing with one, or two or more others were less likely to receive high supervision, and children aged 1-4 years were likely to receive higher supervision than older children. Conclusion: This study provides new knowledge about underlying factors associated with the level of caregiver supervision in beach settings. Future studies should continue to explore independent predictors of supervision so that effective programmes, which focus on caregiver supervision, can be targeted to address poor supervision practices.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:44:02 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4101 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:43:26 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3930 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:34:58 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3843 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:34:54 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3573 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:34:33 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1945 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:33:00 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1803 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:32:52 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3325 Fri 21 Jan 2022 16:29:53 AEDT ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3323 Fri 21 Jan 2022 16:29:21 AEDT ]]>
