TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Injury mortality and socioeconomic development: an exploratory analysis JO - International journal of epidemiology A1 - Wintemute, Garen J. SP - 540 EP - 543 VL - 15 IS - 4 N2 - Injury mortality is commonly viewed as a 'disease of development'--a viewpoint which may well be incorrect. This exploratory study found no relationship between reported injury mortality rates and per capita gross national product for 46 developing and industrialized countries; the highest rates reported were all from developing or transitional nations. Greater attention should be given to injuries as a cause of death and disability in developing countries. LA - SN - 0300-5771 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
