Motorcycle crashes are a substantial public health problem for children and teens. During 2003, among persons aged </=19 years, at least 245 died and an estimated 56,870 were treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments (EDs) for injuries sustained while riding a motorcycle. National surveillance has focused primarily on monitoring and characterizing fatal and nonfatal injuries from motorcycle crashes occurring on public roads. However, during 2003, at least 13 motorcycle riders aged </=19 years died in nontraffic incidents in places other than on public roads. This report focuses on injuries associated with off-road motorcycle riding, an increasingly popular recreational activity among youths. To characterize nonfatal injuries among young off-road motorcycle riders in the United States, CDC analyzed data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System-All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP) during 2001-2004. Those data indicated that an estimated 23,800 off-road motorcyclists aged </=19 years were treated for nonfatal injuries in U.S. hospital EDs each year. Programs and policies directed at reducing the number of injuries from off-road motorcycle riding need to be strengthened; requiring minimum ages for off-road motorcycle riding might help prevent such injuries among children and teens.
摩托车事故对儿童和青少年来说是一个严重的公共卫生问题。2003年期间，在19岁及以下人群中，在美国医院急诊科（ED），至少有245人死于骑乘摩托车时遭受的伤害，另有约56,870人因骑乘摩托车受伤接受治疗。国家监测主要集中在监测和描述公共道路上发生的摩托车事故造成的致命和非致命伤害。然而，2003年期间，至少有13名19岁及以下的摩托车骑手在公共道路以外的非交通事件中死亡。本报告重点关注与越野摩托车骑行相关的伤害，这是一项在年轻人中越来越受欢迎的娱乐活动。为了描述美国年轻越野摩托车骑手的非致命伤害情况，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）分析了2001 - 2004年期间国家电子伤害监测系统 - 所有伤害项目（NEISS - AIP）的数据。这些数据表明，美国每年估计有23,800名19岁及以下的越野摩托车骑手因非致命伤害在医院急诊科接受治疗。针对减少越野摩托车骑行伤害数量的项目和政策需要加强；规定越野摩托车骑行的最低年龄可能有助于预防儿童和青少年的此类伤害。
