The challenges of preventing drowning in Iran

Conclusion: This survey demonstrated that a prevention program for drowning can be sustainable when high-quality local drowning data are employed to target and model community-based injury prevention, and evaluate the outcomes. Local governments should install barriers for controlling access to water around rivers and canals and develop training programs on swimming, water safety, and safe rescue skills for the less than 18-year-old population by the Red Crescent Society.
