Abstract

Unintentional injury is the leading cause of mortality and an important cause of morbidity in adolescents and young adults. A review of the literature suggests that the male gender and substance abuse are important contributors to many accidents. One recent study has identified some significant teenage educational needs regarding accident prevention; others report paradoxical outcomes following untargeted educational programs for teenagers. It appears that the greatest potential for success in the prevention of unintentional injury in this age group is regulatory and legislative measures.

摘要

意外伤害是青少年和青年成人死亡的主要原因及发病的重要原因。文献综述表明，男性和药物滥用是许多事故的重要促成因素。最近一项研究确定了青少年在事故预防方面一些重大的教育需求；其他研究报告了针对青少年的无针对性教育项目产生的矛盾结果。看来，在这一年龄组预防意外伤害取得成功的最大潜力在于监管和立法措施。
