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 water-recreation 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.
本研究评估了在伊朗北部伊斯兰共和国实施溺水干预包的可行性。采用准实验设计，在里海干预和对照区域的水上娱乐海滩地区以及里海沿海地区的居民中，对居民和游客进行了干预前和干预后的观察。在所研究的居民人口中，溺水的致命率从基线时的每 10 万人 4.24 人降至每 10 万人 3.04 人。在干预地区，水上娱乐区的溺水死亡风险在干预前（OR = 1.15，95%CI：0.66-2.01）高于实施期间（OR = 0.24，95%CI：0.15-0.37）。通过加强监督和提高社区意识，可以降低溺水风险。
