Abstract

We studied youth injury fatality rates in America, the Northeast region of the US, andinthe state of Connecticut for the years 1990 and 2013 to evaluate the incidence of injury. All areas of injury showed a decrease in mortality rates with the exception of deaths by suffocation and poisoning. Ihe age group most affected by suffocation is infants younger than one year. Adolescents between the ages of 15 and 19 years appear to be at increased risk for poisoning deaths. Injury surveillance provides important guidance for the implementation of community based programs to prevent injury.

期刊介绍： The Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS) is a federation of eight component county medical associations, with a total membership exceeding 7,000 physicians. CSMS itself is a constituent state entity of the American Medical Association. Founded by the physician-patriots of the American Revolution, the Society operates from a heritage of democratic principles embodied in its Charter and Bylaws. The base of all authority in CSMS is, of course, the individual physician member. It is the decisions of members in their own county associations that ultimately determine the nature of the Society"s policies and activities.
