Abstract: Objective To investigate the injury status and related behaviors among children and adolescents in Baoding, and to provide a reference for preventing children and adolescents from injury. Methods From December 2020 to February 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the injury status and related behaviors of children and adolescents in eight communities under different jurisdictions in Baoding. The descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the injury status of children and adolescents, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis methods were used to determine the related risk behaviors. Results A total of 3 788 children and adolescents were analyzed. The incidence of injuries was 5.91%. The top three causes of injury were falling or tripping, accounting for 27.68% （62/224）, bruising or scraping, accounting for 19.64% （44/224）, and stabbing or cutting, accounting for 16.96% （38/224）. The top three types of injury were torsion/strain, accounting for 25.89% （58/224）, abrasion, accounting for 22.32% （50/224）, and cutting/biting, accounting for 19.64% （44/224）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender （OR=1.713）, age （OR=0.321）, residence （OR=1.440）, physical exercise （OR=0.941）, violent behavior （OR=2.983）, traffic safety behavior （OR=0.640）, internet addiction （OR=1.539）, safety education behavior （OR=0.387） were the influencing factors of injury among children and adolescents in Baoding. Conclusions Injuries to children and adolescents in Baoding are often caused by falls, scrapes or scratches, knives or sharp instruments, and injury-related behaviors are multidimensional. Education about injury-related behaviors in children and adolescents should be enhanced, and children and adolescents should be instructed to strengthen physical exercise, improve traffic safety awareness, and reduce violence, internet addiction and other bad behaviors to reduce the occurrence of injuries.
