Injury among 15 to 29 year old males
Jerry Moller
Introduction
This Bulletin considers injury to young males. It uses available data to identify the
frequency and broad nature of injury experienced by this group. We have studied data
across the spectrum of death, hospital inpatient treatment and emergency department
treatment in order to identify major areas where preventive action can be planned. From
a public health point of view it is important to consider the relative contribution of
both minor and more serious injuries to the health of the target group and to base
prevention strategies on this broader understanding of the issues involved.
