Prospective outcomes of injury studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Background: In New Zealand (NZ), 20% of adults report a disability, of which one-third is caused by injury. No prospective epidemiological studies of predictors of disability following all-cause injury among New Zealanders have been undertaken. Internationally, studies have focused on a limited range of predictors or specific injuries. Although these studies provide useful insights, applicability to NZ is limited given the importance of NZ’s unique macro-social factors, such as NZ’s no-fault accident compensation and rehabilitation scheme, the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC). Objectives: (1) To quantit...

Booster seat laws and child fatalities: a case-control studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A case–control study examined, primarily, the association between booster seat laws and fatalities among children in frontal collisions and, secondarily, the association between booster seat laws and reported restraint use, and restraint use and child fatalities. Children who died in a crash in the US were cases, and children who survived a fatal crash were controls. Subjects were child passengers (4–8 years old) in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System Database, 1995–2005. In states with a booster seat law, children were less likely to die than in states without a law (OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.66 to 0.98). The...

The role of alcohol in unintentional falls among young and middle-aged adults: a systematic review of epidemiological studiesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Alcohol use appears to be an important risk factor for falls among young and middle-aged adults. Controlled studies with sufficient power that adjust effect estimates for potential confounders (eg, fatigue, recreational drug use) are required to determine the population-based burden of fall-related injuries attributable to alcohol. This can help inform and prioritise falls prevention strategies for this age group. (Source: Injury Prevention)

Innovation in qualitative interviews: "Sharing Circles" in a First Nations communityEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article describes qualitative research in general and outlines some of the ways qualitative research can add to our understanding of injury. It also describes the role, format and methods of interviews (person-to-person and focus groups) commonly performed in qualitative studies, and proposes a novel approach to interviewing that has special relevance and value in injury research with indigenous populations. This methodology adapts focus group methods to be consistent with the goals and procedures of the traditional First Nations communities’ Sharing Circles. This adaptation provides a culturally appropriate and...

The effect of counting principal and secondary injuries on national estimates of motor vehicle-related trauma: a NEISS-AIP special studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Based on an analysis of NEISS–AIP special study data, the inclusion of both principal and secondary injuries in national estimates of motor vehicle-related occupant injury would provide a more comprehensive report of non-fatal injuries treated in US hospital EDs. Other countries with ED-based surveillance systems could consider reporting multiple injuries when assessing injury count associated with motor vehicle trauma requiring ED care.

Non-firearm-related homicide, New Mexico, 2001-3Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Homicide-prevention efforts among AIs in NM should focus on non-firearm-related homicides. The association between excessive drinking and non-firearm-related homicide should be further characterised. Continued surveillance for non-firearm-related homicides will assist these efforts.
