Abstract

This report focuses on the fatal and non-fatal unintentional injuries among children and youth in BC, including data from 1987 to 2000, describing injury mortality and hospitalization variation by age, gender, injury category and leading causes, highlighting subgroups of the study population who are at higher risks for injury by region, year, and place of occurrence of injury events. Time trends by year, age group, sex and region are also described. Injuries seen in emergency departments are examined by age, gender, time of occurrence, activity, location, mechanism, breakdown event, nature of injury, injured area of the body and outcome of emergency department visits.
