Abstract

Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in children aged 1 to 15, and two thirds of fatal injuries in schoolchildren result from road traffic crashes. More than 75% of children fatally or seriously injured in road traffic crashes are pedestrians or cyclists. Socioeconomic gradients exist in children admitted with pedestrian and pedal cycle injuries, but little is known about trends in these gradients over time. We examined trends in admission rates and socioeconomic gradients for traffic injuries in children between 1992 and 1997. (Author/publisher)
