This indicator shows the number of hospital admissions for unintentional and intentional injury per 10,000 population in an area.
Why is this important?
Injuries and violence affect everyone, regardless of age, race, or economic status. In the first half of life, more Americans die from violence and injuries — such as motor vehicle crashes, falls, or homicides — than from any other cause, including cancer, HIV, or the flu. This makes injury the leading cause of death among persons 1 - 44. Each year 214,000 people die from injury - 1 person every 3 minutes. But these deaths are on the tip of the iceberg. Each year, millions of people are injured and survive. They are faced with life-long mental, physical, and financial problems. The effects of injuries and violence extend beyond the injured person or victim of violence to family members, friends, coworkers, employers and communities. Injuries are not tracked systematically unless they result in hospitalization or death. Hospital admission data only represent the most serious injuries.
