“…If a drowning event is suspected to be suicide, victims' families are also probably less likely to want to involve police or other government authorities. Similarly, if victims are suspected to have ingested narcotics, family members may be reluctant to report drowning events to authorities [26].…”

“…With regard to place of occurrence in the resident population, our research found that standing bodies of water, such as lakes, were a potentially hazardous environment for young children [5], and unintentional falls into rivers and canals was a common cause of drowning in older children. These findings are consistent with those of previous studies [14].…”

“…This means that, in every year, males drowned more frequently than females. Males in Islamic Republic of Iran are more likely to engage in various water activities during all seasons of the year and at any time of the day or night, but females are more likely to engage in recreational activities in or near their home in shallow water, and also while they are on holiday; cases of drowning among females tended to occur during daytime [5].…”

This study evaluated the feasibility of a drowning intervention package in northern Islamic Republic of Iran. A quasi-experimental design used pre-and post-observations among residents and tourists in waterrecreation beach areas of intervention and control regions by the Caspian Sea and in residents near the Caspian Sea coastline. The fatal drowning rate in the studied resident population in the provinces fell from 4.24 per 100 000 residents at baseline to 3.04 per 100 000 residents at endline. The risk of death from drowning in the intervention areas in the water-recreation area was greater during the pre-intervention (OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 0.66-2.01) than the implementation period (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.15-0.37). The risk of drowning can be reduced by implementing increased supervision and raising community awareness.1 Division of Social Medicine, Department of Public Health Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden (Correspondence to A. Davoudikiakalayeh: davoudikiakalayeh@gmail.com RÉSUMÉ La présente étude a évalué la faisabilité d'un programme d'intervention contre la noyade dans le nord de la République islamique d'Iran. Un plan quasi-expérimental a été utilisé à partir des observations réalisées avant et après l'intervention auprès de résidents et de touristes dans des zones de plages pour les loisirs aquatiques et des régions témoins près de la mer Caspienne ainsi qu'auprès de résidents à proximité du littoral de la mer Caspienne. Le pourcentage de noyades mortelles au sein de la population résidente étudiée dans les provinces est passé de 4,24 pour 100 000 résidents au début de l'étude à 3,04 pour 100 000 résidents à la fin de l'étude. Le risque de décès par noyade dans les zones d'intervention de loisirs aquatiques était plus élevé avant l'intervention (OR = 1,15, IC 95 % : 0,66-2,01) que pendant la mise en oeuvre (OR = 0,24, IC 95 % : 0,15-0,37). Le risque de noyade peut être réduit en renforçant la surveillance et en faisant de la sensibilisation auprès de la communauté.
