Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine how residents’ injury mortality varies depending on the implementation of a community-based injury prevention program with an international safe community model and to analyze the program’s effectiveness.
Methods: The study analyzed descriptive statistics and annual variation to understand the targeted regions’ characteristics and applied the synthetic control method (SCM) to determine whether significant changes occurred before and after the region’s designation as International Safe Community.
Results: The age-adjusted injury death rate by years and regions fluctuated but often tended to increase for intentional injury, whereas it continually decreased for unintentional injury. Additionally, although the mortality in designated regions tended to be similar to that of the control group before the designation as International Safe Community, the mortality in the former was substantially lower than after the designation.
Conclusion: At the community level, It is necessary to continuously plan a project including comprehensive strategies for injury prevention, which match regional characteristics, and to promote a targeted and customized program based on injury mechanisms.
