OBJECTIVES
To describe how newspapers report injury events and how often they contain information about injury prevention measures.
METHODS
A commercial service provided all newspaper clippings reporting unintentional injury events between July and September 1995 from 17 daily and 55 weekly newspapers published in Connecticut, USA. Each clipping was reviewed to determine the presence or absence of 35 content variables.
RESULTS
There were 962 articles and excluding 35 editorials, 927 reported injury events and 17% pertained to persons under 21 years. Of the 60% that described motor vehicle collisions only 3% mentioned driver alcohol use, 9% seat belt use, and fewer than 1% airbag use. In the 17 motorcycle and 44 bicycle stories, 29% and 20% respectively, mentioned helmet use. In the 16 articles about house fires only 13% mentioned smoke detector use. There were no significant differences in injury reporting by circulation size.
CONCLUSIONS
Newspapers are an important source of public information but are woefully deficient in providing information on injury prevention.
目的
描述报纸如何报道伤害事件以及其中包含伤害预防措施信息的频率。
方法
一项商业服务提供了1995年7月至9月期间美国康涅狄格州出版的17份日报和55份周报中所有报道意外伤害事件的剪报。对每份剪报进行审查，以确定35个内容变量的有无。
结果
共有962篇文章，排除35篇社论后，927篇报道了伤害事件，其中17%涉及21岁以下人群。在描述机动车碰撞的60%的文章中，只有3%提到了驾驶员饮酒情况，9%提到了安全带使用情况，不到1%提到了安全气囊使用情况。在17篇关于摩托车和44篇关于自行车的报道中，分别有29%和20%提到了头盔使用情况。在16篇关于房屋火灾的文章中，只有13%提到了烟雾探测器的使用情况。不同发行量的报纸在伤害报道方面没有显著差异。
结论
报纸是重要的公共信息来源，但在提供伤害预防信息方面严重不足。
