“…Although no significance level was reported, the OR values of nine out of these 15 factors were greater than 2. Using relative risk analyses, Ballard and Koepsell [7] also revealed significant differences in age group and ignition factors between fatal and nonfatal injuries as a consequence of residential fires. It should be noted that a series of reports published by the National Fire Protection Association are not referred to here as these reports compare fatalities and the general population [1,19,25], rather than injuries or survivors with no serious injuries.…”

“…These findings occurred across different cities and countries, although the measures of SES used varied considerably. A study primarily of nonfatal fire injuries occurring in one county in Washington State found that persons who were injured from residential fires were more likely to have lower household incomes compared to the average county household income (7). A study of unintentional injuries resulting in hospitalization among men enlisted in the Navy found higher injury rates among men in the lower ranks, i.e., lower pay grades, a proxy for seniority (30).…”

s Abstract Injuries continue to place a tremendous burden on the public's health and rates vary widely among different groups in the population. Increasing attention has recently been given to the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) as a determinant of health among both individuals and communities. However, relatively few studies have focused on the influence of SES and injuries. Furthermore, those that have, and the other injury studies that have included measures of SES in their analysis, have varying degrees of conceptual and methodological rigor in their use of this measure. Recent advances in data linkage and analytic techniques have, however, provided new and improved methods to assess the relationship between SES and injuries. This review summarizes the relevant literature on SES and injuries, with particular attention to study design, and the measurement and interpretation of SES. We found that increasing SES has a strong inverse association with the risk of both homicide and fatal unintentional injuries, although the results for suicide were mixed. However, the relationship between SES and nonfatal injuries was less consistent than for fatal injuries. We offer potential explanatory mechanisms for the relationship between SES and injuries and make recommendations for future research in this area.
