| Description |
Injuries are an important cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in Utah, especially for young people. In the 1996 Health Status Survey, about one in five injuries reported for Utahns age 5 to 15, and one in ten for Utahns age 16 to 24, occurred at school. That was an estimated total of 13,100 Utahns age 5- 24 who were injured at school. A recent collaborative study by the University of Utah School of Medicine and the Utah Department of Health examined 44,565 school injuries that resulted in loss of at least one half day of school or needed medical attention from 1990 to 1997. This Health Status Update reviews some highlights of that study. |
