TY  - CHAP
AB  - Injuries are most commonly categorized as unintentional or intentional, based on the perpetrator’s intent or intentionality of the act. Unintentional injuries comprise both transport and nontransport injuries. This chapter examines in detail the risk factors for the leading causes of unintentional injuries, namely, road injuries, falls, drowning, burns, and poisoning. It places injuries in a global context, briefly presents the burden, and then goes on to discuss, in detail, the known risk factors for unintentional injuries in high-, low-, and middle-income countries (LMICs). A consistent theme for every category of cause-specific, unintentional injury is the dearth of reliable evidence from LMICs on risk factors, and thus the challenges informing development of evidence-based interventions, and costeffective approaches to prevention.
