Abstract

In 2019, a child's death in Korea led to legislation that imposed stricter penalties for school zone traffic violations. We assessed the impact of that legislation using 2017-2022 Traffic Accident Analysis System data. Adjusted analyses revealed a significant decline in severe injuries in school zones, decreasing from 11 cases to 8 cases per month (p=0.017). The legislation correlated with a reduced risk of all child traffic injuries (risk ratio, 0.987; 95% confidence interval, 0.977 to 0.997; p=0.002), indicating its efficacy in curbing accidents.

评估修订后的《特定罪行加重处罚法》对预防学校区域儿童交通伤害的影响和意义：间断时间序列分析。

2019 年，韩国一名儿童的死亡导致对学校区域交通违规行为的处罚更加严格。我们利用 2017-2022 年交通事故分析系统数据评估了其影响。调整后的分析表明，学校区域的严重伤害事故有所减少（每月11→8起，P=0.017）。立法与所有儿童交通伤害风险的降低相关（RR=0.987，95% CI，0.977-0.997，P=0.002），表明立法在遏制事故方面具有功效。

It is indexed on PubMed Central and the scope is wide-ranging: including descriptive, analytical and molecular epidemiology; primary preventive measures; screening approaches and secondary prevention; clinical epidemiology; and all aspects of communicable and non-communicable diseases prevention. The epiH publishes original research, and also welcomes review articles and meta-analyses, cohort profiles and data profiles, epidemic and case investigations, descriptions and applications of new methods, and discussions of research theory or public health policy. We give special consideration to papers from developing countries.
