Bus stops associated with fatal and non-fatal incidents were identified across multiple administrative districts. To capture temporal variation, the analysis was conducted separately for daytime and nighttime crashes based on reported crash timings. Video-graphic surveys and built-environment audits were undertaken to identify potential factors influencing pedestrian safety. Negative Binomial and Hurdle Negative Binomial models were estimated to analyse crash occurrence. The results indicate that various built-environment attributes-such as sidewalk condition, on-street parking, crossing type, and lighting conditions-significantly affect crash risk near bus stops. Additionally, higher bus commuter volumes were associated with increased crash frequency. The findings further suggest that Hurdle models outperform conventional count models for such data. Overall, the study highlights critical design and operational factors requiring targeted interventions to enhance pedestrian safety near bus stops.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147785372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In South Africa, where unintentional injury rates are high, lockdown measures introduced stressors such as confinement, financial hardship and psychological strain that may have increased injury risk. This study examined how adherence to stay-at-home restrictions, financial stress and psychological distress during South Africa's COVID-19 lockdown were associated with reports of household members being injured and requiring medical treatment. Data were drawn from a province-stratified computer-assisted telephone interview survey conducted from December 2020 to March 2021. The study used a cross-sectional design and included 1854 adults. Logistic regression estimated adjusted associations. Overall, 6.3% of respondents reported an injury in the household. In bivariate analyses, reports of injury were more frequent with higher poverty, financial distress and psychological distress and less frequent among household heads and those living in other dwelling types. In the multivariable model, financial distress remained associated with higher odds of reporting a household injury, while household headship and residence in dwellings other than a formal house were associated with lower odds. Injuries requiring medical treatment during lockdown were linked to economic strain, highlighting the need for financial and contextual injury-prevention support during public health emergencies.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147785392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used national mortality data, applying age-standardized rates, the Relative Index of Inequality (RII) and Joinpoint regression to assess trends and educational disparities. Homicide rates declined substantially for men and women, demonstrating the effectiveness of renewed state capacity and security interventions. However, this macroscopic success was highly uneven: gaps in lethal violence by educational attainment widened for most of the study period, underscoring a critical policy dilemma. These findings show that reductions in homicide did not translate into proportional declines in socioeconomic disparities. Sustainable and equitable violence reduction requires a dual-track strategy combining deterrence and structural equity. Crucially, successful transitions to peace demand the strategic weakening of illegal armed structures be prioritized before, or concurrently with, formal peace negotiations.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147785432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Child seat usage was far lower at 5.9%. The observed driver seatbelt use, passenger seatbelt usage and child seat usage generally declined significantly between August 2015 and November 2020. Both seatbelt and child restraint use were lowest among males, truck vehicles, on weekends and in presence of camera enforcement, among other specific factors.

Utilizing secondary analysis of epidemiological and financial data sets, this study analyses injury patterns, risk factors and economic impacts across the top five European leagues-Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1-between the 2020/21 and 2023/24 seasons. Drawing on data from UEFA, FIFA and the Howden Group, the findings reveal a 37% increase in total injury incidence and a near-doubling of economic losses, exceeding €730 million in 2023/24 alone. Hamstring and soft-tissue injuries dominate, with young players (U21) showing the steepest rise in severity. Fixture congestion, inadequate recovery time and environmental factors such as surface conditions and travel fatigue are identified as key structural drivers. The findings suggest a need for coordinated governance reforms, including mandatory rest intervals, standardized medical protocols and centralized injury databases. The analysis indicates that sustainable football management should integrate player welfare as an economic and ethical priority to safeguard the sport's long-term integrity.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147640146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their crash involvement remains an overlooked critical mobility challenge. This study investigates the crash severity influence factors of 3W-ARs using five machine learning models: Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost, and LightGBM, along with the SHAP interpreter for explainability. Five-year crash record data (2019-2023) from Dire Dawa City were analysed. The results revealed that RF and DT outperformed the other three models with overall accuracies of 92.7% and 92.3%, respectively. Several attributes significantly contribute to the severity of 3W-AR injuries, including driving experience, rider educational level, pedestrian crossing behavior, and vehicle age. Notably, pedestrian-involved collisions particularly those resulting from unsafe pedestrian actions such as sudden road crossing or walking along traffic lanes emerged as one of the most dominant and consistent predictors of fatal and severe injury crashes. By integrating a machine learning model with explainable AI, this study advances data-driven approaches for enhancing 3W-AR safety and crash prevention measures. The findings provide critical insights for policymakers and transportation planners, enabling the development of targeted interventions suited to Ethiopian context.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147628898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a Dynamic and Static Cross Entropy Integrated Neural Network (DSCE-INN) to address these issues. Using 857 real-world accident cases from the 2017-2021 China National Automobile Accident In-Depth Investigation System (NAIS), a Weighted Injury Coefficient is developed to enable continuous injury mapping, and K-means clustering reclassifies severity into three levels: property damage only, non-disabling injury, and disabling or fatal injury. Information gain identifies 11 critical features. DSCE-INN employs feature decoupling, transforming the multi-class task into binary sub-models, and introduces a dynamic-static weighted cross-entropy loss to jointly mitigate coupling and imbalance. A soft-hard voting mechanism, combined with L1 regularisation and focal loss, further enhances prediction robustness. Experimental results show accuracies of 0.782, 0.729, and 0.801, significantly outperforming a baseline ANN.
