“…The high number of worker/maid in traffic accident casualties is probably because this job belongs to low socioeconomic groups [10]. Lower socioeconomic class knows nothing or a little about traffic regulations due to the lack of education on safety driving [11].…”

Background: Traffic accident is an unpredictable event which may harm people and damage properties and environment. In recent years, the number of traffic accidents has increased in Indonesia. Methods:This study is an observational and descriptive study with cross-sectional design. This research was conducted by observing the data based on Visum et Repertum. Results:Men are more involved in both cases, i.e. 65.1% in live cases and 73.9% in death cases. In live cases the most frequent age range belonged to 41-60 years, while in death cases, the dominant age range was between 22 and 40 years. Head injury had the highest reported injury in live cases (60.5%) and death cases (82.6%). In live cases, the highest number of victims were worker/maid (34.9%), while in death cases they were mostly private employees. The most frequent time of the accident in live cases was between 12.01 and 1800 WIB (Western Indonesian Time) and death cases between 18.01 and 24.00 WIB. Conclusion:Most traffic accident victims in both cases were male. Victims' age of live cases was mostly in the range of 41-60 years, while in death case was 22-40 years. Head injury was the most common injury in both cases. Most victims in live cases were worker/maid and private employees in death cases. Traffic accident often occurred between 12.01 and 18.00 WIB in live cases and between 18.01 and 24.00 WIB in death cases.

“…This suggests increased risk of injury among youth who live in socio-economically deprived neighbourhoods (Matheny, 1997;Valsiner and Lightfoot, 1987;Dowswell et al, 1996;Faelker et al, 2000). Various census variables and data that reflect social and economic characteristics of the areas in which children and youth live have been previously analysed to quantify associations between injury and socio-economic factors (Dougherty et al, 1990;Joly et al, 1991;Roberts et al, 1992;Faelker et al, 2000). Our analysis aims to quantify the regional experience of child and youth injury in this province and explore potential risk factors and contextual determinants with a view toward community injury prevention and control.…”

In this article, recently developed Bayesian spatial and ecological regression models are applied to analyse small-area variation in accident and injury. This study serves to demonstrate how Bayesian modelling techniques can be implemented to assess potential risk factors measured at group (e.g. area) level. Presented here is a unified modelling framework that enables thorough investigations into associations between injury rates and regional characteristics, residual variation and spatial autocorrelation. Using hospital separation data for 83 local health areas in British Columbia (BC), Canada, in 1990-1999, we explore and examine ecological/contextual determinants of motor vehicle accident injury (MVAI) among male children and youth aged 0-24 and for those of six age groups (<1, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19 and 20-24). Eighteen local health area characteristics are studied. They include a broad spectrum of socio-economic indicators, residential environment indicators (roads and parks), medical services availability and utilisation, population health, proportion of recent immigrants, crime rates, rates of speeding charge and rates of seatbelt violation. Our study indicates a large regional variation in MVAI in males aged 0-24 in British Columbia, Canada, in 1990, and that adjusting for appropriate risk factors eliminates nearly all the variation observed. Socio-economic influence on MVAI was profoundly apparent in young males of all ages with the injury being more common in communities of lower socio-economic status. High adult male crime rates were significantly associated with high injury rates of boys aged 1-14. Seatbelt violations and excess speeding charges were found to be positively associated with the injury rates of young men aged 20-24. This and similar ecological studies shed light on reasons for regional variations in accident occurrence as well as in the resulting injuries and hospital utilisation. Thereby they are potentially useful in identifying priority areas for injury/accident prevention and in informing regional health planning and policy development.

“…Person with below secondary education were found to be more victimized in accident in the present study which is same as other study. 11,18 Though no statistical association was calculated in the study it may be hypothesized that education may have a major influence in occurrences of accident. Skilled workers like drivers were found as the major victim of the accident in the present study as in other study 18 may be inconclusive of any inference as they were the integral part of the mechanism of road traffic accident which may reflect as bias.…”

Road traffic injuries nowadays take the place as a major public health problem constituting leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally and in India, more than a million are injured annually and about a lakh are killed in road traffic accidents. Road traffic accidents are defined as a collision involving at least one vehicle in motion on a public or private road that results in at least one person being injured or killed. In this context, an epidemiological study was conducted in a teaching hospital of West Bengal for last one year for better understanding of the factors involved in road traffic accidents. The study population comprised of all the victims of road traffic accidents attending the emergency department during the study period. Total 355 gave full response with written informed consent and included in the study. Every one out of five subjects was male. Most were from 10-29years age group. Students (18.3%), skilled (21.9%) and unskilled worker (23.7%) by profession were found to be the major victims. More than half (55.5%) of the victims were involved in the two Wheeler accident. Among the all victims 25.92% were released after given first-aid and 48.73% were hospitalized. Half of the accident occurred in July -August and between 6 p.m. to 11p.m. The results ch. can be corroborated with further studies with more robust hypothesis.
