Abstract

This report examines the status of motor vehicle traffic crashes as a leading or major cause of death in the United States in 2002. It is based on a study, by age and sex, of the rank ordering of 68 causes of death which have been adopted by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to study the leading causes of death in the U.S. This study was originally prompted by a number of unanswered questions regarding adequate background material and appropriate information pertaining to the general concept of motor vehicle traffic crashes as a leading cause of death.
