Injuries do not occur by chance. They are largely preventable, non- random events, and not accidents. Certain groups of people with certain characteristics are more likely to be injured. By studying how injuries vary within a population, we can begin to gain an understanding of the factors that lead to injury, and how the risk of injury may be reduced. Injury Prevention, British Medical Association, (2001).

Accidents waiting to happen

...certain groups of people are more likely to be injured.... Children of poor families have more injuries Injury death rates in children 0-15 by social class. (BMA, 2001.) Social Class 1 (Richer) Social Class 5 (Poorer)

...certain groups of people... Children... of single parents of alcohol and drug users living in rented accommodation of unemployed parents.....are at higher risk of injury.
