In response to the high rates of injury morbidity and mortality among Native Americans, the Indian Health Service initiated community injury control programs in 1982 mainly aimed at educating the populations served. Substantial declines in hospitalization rates per population for falls, motor vehicle injuries, and assaults were observed through 1984. Regression analyses of changes in hospitalization rates for particular types of injury in relation to rates of persons served in 54 service units suggests some favorable effect of certain activities and possible adverse effect of a few. Increased targeting of effort based on detailed surveillance of serious injuries is planned.
为应对美国原住民中高比率的伤害发病率和死亡率，印第安卫生服务局于1982年启动了社区伤害控制项目，主要目的是对所服务人群进行教育。到1984年，观察到跌倒、机动车伤害和袭击导致的人均住院率大幅下降。对54个服务单位中特定类型伤害的住院率变化与所服务人数比率进行的回归分析表明，某些活动有一些有利影响，少数活动可能有不利影响。计划根据对重伤的详细监测，加大工作的针对性。
