to report the incidence of child pedestrian injury in New Zealand and review prevention strategies.
examination of National Health Statistics Centre mortality and public hospital morbidity data from 1978-87.
over the ten year period, there was an annual average of 30 deaths (3.6/100,000 per year) and 411 hospitalisations (49.4/100,000 per year) for child pedestrian injury. There has been no significant reduction in the fatality or hospital morbidity rate over this time. Pedestrian fatality rates are highest for boys and for children in the youngest age groups. Hospitalisation rates are over 2.5 times higher for Maori children than for nonMaori children.
child pedestrian injury is an important public health problem in New Zealand for which there are few established prevention strategies. Controlled studies aimed at the identification of modifiable environmental factors are required.
报告新西兰儿童行人受伤的发生率并回顾预防策略。
检查国家卫生统计中心1978 - 1987年的死亡率和公立医院发病率数据。
在这十年期间，儿童行人受伤的年平均死亡人数为30人（每年3.6/10万），住院人数为411人（每年49.4/10万）。在此期间，死亡率和住院发病率均未显著下降。男孩和最年幼年龄组的儿童行人死亡率最高。毛利儿童的住院率是非毛利儿童的2.5倍以上。
儿童行人受伤是新西兰一个重要的公共卫生问题，针对此问题几乎没有既定的预防策略。需要开展旨在确定可改变环境因素的对照研究。
