The burden of unintentional injuries among youth (15-24 years) is high. There is paucity of data on unintentional injuries in youth working in Vocational Training Institutes.
To determine the incidence, characteristics, and risk factors of unintentional injuries among youth.
retrospective cross-sectional survey was conducted among select vocational school youth in Peshawar, Pakistan between February 2022 to October 2022. A total of 547 study participants participated in the survey, 356 were males while 191 were females. Data were collected on using the World Health Organization community survey guide for injuries and violence. Multilevel Negative Binomial Regression model was used to report incidence rate ratios of all unitentional injuries.
total of 503 injuries were reported by the youth, with road traffic injuries being the most common (n=197, 39%), followed by burns (n=89, 18%), falls (n=79, 16%) and poisonings (n=15, 3%), drownings (n=23, 7.1%). Occupational injuries reported during vocational training were (n=95, 18%). Males had a higher incidence rates of RTI 3.24[2.35-5.3], falls 1.30 [0.74-2.27], poisonings 2.14 [0.57-7.58] and drownings 2.46(0.84-7.21), while females had a higher incidence rate of burns 2.19 [1.785-3.46].Lack of education 4.6 [1.12 -18.91] (=0.034), smoking 1.25 [1.05 -2.69] (=0.049), lack of fathers education 4.71 [2.12 -10.49] (=<0.001), carrying a gun 6.59 [2.54 -17.11] (=<0.001), crowded families 3.59 [3.11 -5.07] (=<0.001), lower family income 2.04 1.04 -4.02, lack of helmet use 4.54 [2.12 -9.76] (=<0.001) and lack of seat belt use 1.3 [1.14 -1.69] <0.001) were significant risk factors for unintentional injuries in youth.
This study is one of the first research studies conducted in vocational school youth in Pakistan. It provides the recent rate of unintentional injuries among the youth of Pakistan. High occupational injuries among vocational school youth were reported which needs further research.
青年（15 - 24岁）中非故意伤害的负担很高。关于职业培训机构青年中非故意伤害的数据匮乏。
确定青年中非故意伤害的发生率、特征和风险因素。
2022年2月至2022年10月期间，在巴基斯坦白沙瓦选定的职业学校青年中进行了回顾性横断面调查。共有547名研究参与者参与了调查，其中356名是男性，191名是女性。使用世界卫生组织伤害和暴力社区调查指南收集数据。采用多水平负二项回归模型报告所有非故意伤害的发病率比。
青年共报告了503起伤害事件，其中道路交通伤害最为常见（n = 197，39%），其次是烧伤（n = 89，18%）、跌倒（n = 79，16%）和中毒（n = 15，3%）、溺水（n = 23，7.1%）。职业培训期间报告的职业伤害为（n = 95，18%）。男性在道路交通伤害中的发病率较高，为3.24[2.35 - 5.3]，跌倒为1.30[0.74 - 2.27]，中毒为2.14[0.57 - 7.58]，溺水为2.46(0.84 - 7.21)，而女性烧伤的发病率较高，为2.19[1.785 - 3.46]。缺乏教育4.6[1.12 - 18.91]（P = 0.034）、吸烟1.25[1.05 - 2.69]（P = 0.049）、父亲缺乏教育4.71[2.12 - 10.49]（P = <0.001）、携带枪支6.59[2.54 - 17.11]（P = <0.001）、家庭拥挤3.59[3.11 - 5.07]（P = <0.001）、家庭收入较低2.04[1.04 - 4.02]（P = 0.039*）、缺乏头盔使用4.54[2.12 - 9.76]（P = <0.001）和缺乏安全带使用1.3[1.14 - 1.69]（P <0.001）是青年非故意伤害的重要风险因素。
本研究的附加价值：本研究是在巴基斯坦职业学校青年中进行的首批研究之一。它提供了巴基斯坦青年近期非故意伤害的发生率。职业学校青年中职业伤害发生率较高，这需要进一步研究。
