N2  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors of injuries in middle school students and to provide basis for the prevention and reduction of such incidence. METHODS: 1:1 case-control study was conducted on 254 cases and 254 controls on a basis of sex, age and grade. The relationship between risk factors and injuries were analyzed by conditional univariate and multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: Seven risk factors responsible for the incidence of injury were identified as follows: high risk behaviors (OR = 18.0600), negligence of defence (OR = 12.6455), scramble (OR = 9.6552), father being illiterate (OR = 7.7191), risky environment around their houses (OR = 5.7402), extrovert temperament (OR = 5.4707) and mother being illiterate (OR = 3.0581). We also distinguished 5 protective factors as follows: education on safety (OR = 0.2356), harmonic relation between parents (OR = 0.4941), one-child per families (OR = 0.5233), students were more knowledgeable and having positive attitude towards road traffic (OR = 0.5340) and high economy level (OR = 0.5609). CONCLUSION: The injuries in middle school students were caused by multiple factors, hence should carry out intervention measures to modify the influencing factors of injuries. Injury prevention and control program should focus on certain strategies such as education and supervision of environment hazards.<p />  <p>Language: zh</p>
