Deaths from automobile accidents rank in the top-ten list, and driving without the use of seat belts ranks high as a major cause of death within this category. For example, about 60% of the deaths in motor vehicle accidents occur to those who do not wear seat belts. In 2002 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded the highest seat belt use rates of 74% in the country. This is the highest since the study began in 1994. The seat belt use rates, however, vary from one region of the country to the other. NHTSA attributes this to differences in state laws requiring use of seat belts. Overall, states with primary seat belt laws such as California, Maryland and Oregon record the highest rates (80%) of seat belt use while states with secondary seat belt laws record the lowest use rates (69%). While generally acknowledging that the use of seat belts saves lives, civil libertarians argue that primary seat belt use laws infringe on individual freedoms and privacy. Others argue that such laws give too much power to police. Because of these reasons, other ways besides the passage of primary seat belt laws must be found to increase seat belt use rates that do not infringe too much on the privacy rights of individuals. The use of electronic message boards by police officers may be the answer to such a strategy. The Wisconsin pilot study bears this out.","PeriodicalId":84914,"journal":{"name":"Injury control and safety promotion","volume":"10 4","pages":"257-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1076/icsp.10.4.257.16781","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24115697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In one state child drowning rose by 6.62 per 100,000 in the five years from 1968. Variation across jurisdictions in actions to regulate domestic pools has resulted in Australia representing an unfortunate natural experiment in interventions to prevent child drowning in pools. Mechanisms adopted by various authorities were analysed in detail to identify factors that contributed to success and failure in regulating domestic pools. Despite early identification of the problem and development of what were later demonstrated to be effective interventions, best practice solutions were not established in any jurisdiction until 2002, 25 years after identification of the problem. Key failures in intervention were found to be: failure to act in a timely way, flawed regulation, blockage of timely action and repeal of effective state regulation under political pressure, and blockage of effective standards. Lessons are identified as: inherent weaknesses in the standard setting process, failure of interventions to address major risk categories, failure to act before the hazard grew, failure to consider lesser interventions for tactical reasons, failure to pay attention to advocates, and the need for continuing effort. The paper argues that analysis of the identification of the problem, development of interventions and implementation of mechanisms of prevention illustrate where systemic changes are required and indicate lessons that should be applied in developing and implementing future interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":84914,"journal":{"name":"Injury control and safety promotion","volume":"10 4","pages":"227-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1076/icsp.10.4.227.16783","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24115743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While sports injury surveillance, based on injuries presenting for medical treatment at a hospital only provides details on a small proportion of the total number of injuries, these datasets are useful for describing the more severe injuries sustained during sport. Injury surveillance methods utilising data from emergency department and hospital admissions can assist in identifying priority areas for future injury prevention strategies for the more severe, acute injuries sustained in sport. There have been very few studies of squash injuries based on hospital treated data. These studies have shown that squash has a relatively high incidence of severe injury when compared to other sports. The lower extremities account for 32–58% of all squash injuries. Whilst not the most frequent, injuries to the eye have the potential to be very severe. Due to methodological differences eye injury rates range from 3.7 to 33.3 per 100,000 playing sessions. The prevention of squash injuries in Australia has recently gained attention, and these research efforts require relevant up to date information. This study therefore aimed to describe the squash injury cases treated in hospital settings in Victoria, Australia for the first time.","PeriodicalId":84914,"journal":{"name":"Injury control and safety promotion","volume":"10 4","pages":"243-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1076/icsp.10.4.243.16773","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24115693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The exponential increase in participation is due to several factors, for example, increased safety and the evolution and availability of artificial indoor and outdoor climbing walls. Especially the indoor climbing walls allow all-weather access to an environment where the technical climbing moves can be practised. At present, many major and often smaller cities have artificial climbing walls located for instance at sport accommodations or colleges. In Germany, the number of artificial climbing walls is estimated to be about a 100. The Netherlands has 26 medium sized to large climbing halls, 20 smaller indoor walls and 26 outdoor walls. The explosive growth of the number of artificial walls can be illustrated by figures from the United Kingdom. In 1988, the number of climbing walls was 40, in 1995 122 and in 1996 the UK had 169 climbing walls. Although the popularity of climbing and its obvious potential for accidents and injuries is evident, there is little known about the accidents and injuries that are caused. Limb has executed a postal survey targeted at the 90 most accessible walls in England, Scotland and Wales. This survey requested details of the construction of the wall, safety features and equipment, the climbing styles allowed and the occurrence of significant injuries in the 2-year period from July 1991 to July 1993. A significant injury was defined as an injury requiring the victim to be transported to a local Emergency department. Fifty-six walls with good access were included in the analyses. It was calculated that in the 2year period under investigation, 1021 million visits were made to the 56 walls and 55 significant injuries were reported. Limb concluded that climbing walls seem to be associated with a very low injury rate. In Germany, during a 6-month period (November 1996 to April 1997), the number of visitors, as well as accidents leading to an injury requiring an immediate visit to a doctor were registered in 10 indoor climbing accommodations. During the 6-month period, 25,163 climbing enthusiasts visited one of the 10 indoor climbing accommodations under investigation and four accidents as mentioned above were registered. This corresponds with an accident rate of 0.016% per visit. The average climber, climbing two times a week, has a 1.8% risk of having a significant accident each year. Like Limb, Schöffl et al. conclude that climbing is associated with a small risk of having a significant accident and injury. In the Netherlands, information about climbing injuries can be gathered in two ways. Firstly, the Royal Dutch Mountaineering and Climbing Club stimulates managers of climbing accommodations to report accidents (and injuries) occurring in their accommodation using a standard form. In the period 1999–2001, 10 accidents were reported. Secondly, there ","PeriodicalId":84914,"journal":{"name":"Injury control and safety promotion","volume":"10 4","pages":"251-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1076/icsp.10.4.251.16785","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24115695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fundamental to the injury prevention process is access to a complete and accurate set of information about the incidence and nature of the injuries. Unfortunately, the full extent of work-related injuries is unknown, as many medical data systems do not routinely collect reliable and detailed occupational information. The Victorian Emergency Minimum Dataset (VEMD) is the principal information system used by hospital emergency departments across the state of Victoria, and this electronic database collects no specific occupational information concerning injured workers. The value of injury surveillance data relies on its accuracy and completeness. Failure to accurately record or code information, or inability to capture most of the relevant cases can result in data that are biased and misleading. The heavy workloads faced by hospital staff, in the busy environment of an emergency department, have the potential to compromise data collection. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of hospital staff regularly collecting reliable occupational information on injured workers in emergency departments at Victorian hospitals.","PeriodicalId":84914,"journal":{"name":"Injury control and safety promotion","volume":"10 4","pages":"261-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1076/icsp.10.4.261.16780","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24115698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
