Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Traffic-related injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality amongst children in Canada. Characteristics of the road environment, including the volume of motor vehicle traffic, have been found to be important determinants of injury occurrence in adults. Studies of the relationship in children, however, are few in number.I undertook an ecological study among children age 5 to 17 years on the Island of Montreal using a database of all traffic-related pedestrian injuries occurring in the period 1999 to 2008. These data on accidents were juxtaposed with census data and characteristics of the road network. I used Poisson regression to model the number of traffic-related pedestrian injuries occurring at intersections and on city street segments and characteristics of the roadway and of neighbourhoods. The number of injuries was positively associated with the average volume of traffic at the location of injury, with the presence of major roads, and with the presence of more than three legs at intersections. Intersections and road segments located in closer proximity to a school, as well as those in neighbourhoods with a higher population density of children, lower household income, and a higher proportion of children walking or biking to school had higher relative number of injuries. Sensitivity analyses, including the use of different statistical models for count data, confirmed the robustness of the main results. These findings suggest that the design of streets and intersections may be an important target for strategies to reduce the number of injuries in school-aged children." --

Download or read book World Report on Child Injury Prevention written by M. M. Peden and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2008 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child injuries are largely absent from child survival initiatives presently on the global agenda. Through this report, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and many partners have set out to elevate child injury to a priority for the global public health and development communities. It should be seen as a complement to the UN Secretary-General's study on violence against children released in late 2006 (that report addressed violence-related or intentional injuries). Both reports suggest that child injury and violence prevention programs need to be integrated into child survival and other broad strategies focused on improving the lives of children. Evidence demonstrates the dramatic successes in child injury prevention in countries which have made a concerted effort. These results make a case for increasing investments in human resources and institutional capacities. Implementing proven interventions could save more than a thousand children's lives a day.--p. vii.
