Abstract
Objective: To understand the existing problems of walking safety for primary school students in Panyu District，to explore the influencing factors and to evaluate the effect of intervention so as to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control strategies of walking injuries among primary and secondary school students.
Methods: Stratified cluster random sampling method was used for 20 primary schools in Panyu District. A total of 12 320 students were intervened collectively on walking safety through self － administered questionnaires，and the logistics regression method was used to analyze the factors affecting children's walking safety.
Results:
① After the intervention，the awareness rate of students＇ knowledge，the yellow light，crossing the road safely，and steps of crossing the crossroad with a red light increased by 11. 74%，4. 03% and 4. 49% respectively ( χ2 =552. 217，156. 249，152. 936，P ＜ 0. 05) . The difference was statistically significant. The zebra crossing sign ( χ2 = 3. 048，P＞ 0. 05) had no statistical significance.
② The incidence rate of dangerous behaviors，as well as whether or not having a collision with motor vehicles /non － motor vehicles decreased. The difference was statistically significant. ( P ＜ 0. 05) ;
③ Students’ walking safety was connected to knowledge，behavior，type of school，off － campus situation and grade.
Conclusion: Health education can improve traffic safety knowledge of pupils among the district，reduce their dangerous traffic behaviors and the incidence of walking injuries. It is of great significance to enhance traffic safety education for pupils in lower grades，schools near motorized vehicle lane and rural schools.
