Study Summary
Each year over 59,000 children under the age of 5 are taken to emergency rooms (equivalent to 4 busloads of children arriving every day to the ER) because they were able to get into medication containers unsupervised. 95 percent of these ER visits occurred due to the child getting into medicine when an adult was not looking. Child resistant containers (CRC) are intended to restrict entry by imposing a cognitive barrier (the child must understand how to operate the CRC mechanism in order to open it) and a physical barrier (the child must posses the motor skills necessary to operate the CRC). Investigators are testing a design which changes the physical area available for grip utilizing anthropometric data that, in theory, would exclude children and enable adults. Investigators will evaluate the proposed design's effectiveness in two ways (1: cognitive barrier) will the child understand where they need to specifically grip the cap with their fingers and (2: physical barrier) will the child be able to use an appropriate gripping strategy to apply enough torque to rotate the cap and open it.
