Unintentional Injuries and Sociodemographic Factors among Households in Ethiopia.

Conclusion: A low prevalence of unintentional injury was found from the community in this survey, which might be due to the tendency of the community to report severe injuries. Fall and road traffic accidents were the leading mechanisms of selected sociodemographic factors of the households that were associated with unintentional injuries. Injury prevention efforts should focus on falls and transportation injuries with special attention to the sociodemographic context of the communities. PMID: 33343668 [PubMed - in process]
