What is A measure that relates to elementary school children's risk of injury: the supervision attributes and risk-taking questionnaire (SARTQ) about?

## Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the supervision attributes and risk-taking questionnaire (sartq), which is a new measure of caregiver supervision and child risk-taking that applies to elementary school children 7-10 years of age. ## Methods: Using a prospective design, scores on the sartq were related to children's recent and long-term history of injuries and to parents' supervision scores that were derived based on measuring their home supervision practices over 8 weeks. ## Results: Subscale scores on the sartq related differentially to measures of supervision and child injury scores, providing support for the criterion validity of this new measure. ## Conclusion: Results from this initial test of the sartq suggest that it holds promise as a measure that is relevant to understanding injury risk for elementary school children.
