Nearly 52,000 children under age 6 were treated at emergency rooms for medicine poisonings across the United States in 2017, according to a new report. Although that's a decline since 2010, the report identifies some reasons why children may continue to be poisoned by medicines, offering key lessons for other parents.

The parents, who had reported keeping medicines in the home, were grouped by age, and each group represented a mix of race, ethnicity, education and income level.
