OBJECTIVE
To enumerate drowning fatalities in Alaska in order to identify risk factors and areas for intervention.
METHODS
Information from death certificates, state troopers' reports, and medical examiner reports were abstracted and analyzed. Rates were calculated using 1990 census figures as denominator data.
RESULTS
There were 542 drowning fatalities in Alaska for the years 1988 to 1992. The 20-29 age group had the highest frequency and rate of drownings. The incidence rate for the state was 20 drownings per 100,000 population per year, almost 10 times higher than the overall U.S. rate of 2.11 per 100,000 per year. Incidence rates were highest among adolescent males (10-19), young adult males (20-29). Alaska Natives, and rural residents. Alaska Native males, ages 30-39 averaged 159 drownings per 100,000 per year, the highest drowning rates in the state.
CONCLUSIONS
Drowning is a major public health concern in Alaska. People who fish commercially and young Native males are groups at high risk for drowning. Intervention efforts should be concentrated on these two populations.
目的
统计阿拉斯加溺水死亡人数，以确定风险因素及干预领域。
方法
提取并分析死亡证明、州警报告及法医报告中的信息。使用1990年人口普查数据作为分母计算比率。
结果
1988年至1992年阿拉斯加有542例溺水死亡。20至29岁年龄组溺水频率和比率最高。该州的发病率为每年每10万人中有20例溺水，几乎是美国每年每10万人2.11例的总体比率的10倍。发病率在青少年男性（10至19岁）、青年男性（20至29岁）、阿拉斯加原住民及农村居民中最高。30至39岁的阿拉斯加原住民男性每年平均每10万人中有159例溺水，是该州溺水率最高的群体。
结论
溺水是阿拉斯加的一个主要公共卫生问题。从事商业捕鱼的人和年轻的原住民男性是溺水的高危人群。干预措施应集中在这两个人口群体上。
