2. Purpose of the Study
compare and contrast characteristics and determination of all-terrain vehicle fatalities among pediatric age groups
suggest the importance of targeting injury prevention among pediatric age groups

3. Terms and Acronyms Pediatric Age Range: children from birth to age 17
ATV: all-terrain vehicle
cc: cubic centimeter
CPSC: Consumer Product Safety Commision

4. Conduction of the Study
Data was gathered from the CPSC
An ACCESS database was made
Data was analyzed
Calculations and Conclusions were drawn

5. Study Variables Children age, x≤17 Number of riders, x≥1
Engine size, 90≤x≤850
Helmeted or not

7. Study Information
Of 10,012 ATV-related fatalities, 3,240 were children
95% of deaths were on adult sized vehicles
Riders of adult sized vehicle were less likely to be helmeted
Female fatalities happened most in ages 0 to 5

10. Study Information (cont.)
Most deaths occur in the age range 12-to 15- years-old
The highest proportion of passenger fatalities was among ages 5 and lower
60% of deaths involved a head injury
Helmets lowered probable head injury by 58%

12. Conclusion
The result show that certain age groups may benefit from specific prevention methods
