The Poison Prevention program works to reduce child deaths and injuries caused by poisonings by educating parents, childcare providers, and healthcare professionals about Alaska-specific poisonings and methods of treatment. Unintentional poisoning is the second leading cause of injury hospitalizations for Alaskan children age Children are frequently confused about what a poison is; they may know that poisons are 'bad', but do not realize that something sweet-smelling or tasting can be poison too.

Many poisonings occur when children are hungry or stressed, or when there is a change in routine such as a holiday. Alaska-specific brochures, stickers and magnets with the national poison center hotline number, and poison control posters have been distributed throughout the state.
