Study of Sand Versus Wood Chip Surfaces on School Playgrounds to Minimize Injury in School Children
August 14, 2013 updated by: Andrew Howard, The Hospital for Sick Children
School Playground Surfacing - A Randomized Prospective Comparison of Injury Rates on Sand Versus Wood Chip Surfaces
This study will compare children's injury rates (arm fracture, head injury and other injuries) when playing on playground equipment on granite sand versus wood fibre playing surfaces.
The hypothesis is that injury rates (arm fracture, head injury and other injuries) among school children are equal on granite sand and wood fibre playground surfaces.
